总统唐纳德·特朗普周一表示，美国正就伊朗核项目与伊朗进行他所说的“直接对话”。
坐在旁边宣布令人惊讶的消息以色列的特朗普在椭圆形办公室会见本雅明·内塔尼亚胡总理时说，从本周末开始，讨论将升级为高层会谈。
“我们正与伊朗进行直接对话，他们已经开始了。它将在星期六进行。我们有一个非常大的会议，我们将看看会发生什么，”他说。
“我认为每个人都同意，做交易比做明显的事情更好。很明显，这不是我想要卷入的事情，或者坦率地说，如果以色列能够避免的话，他们也不想卷入。
“所以，我们要看看我们是否能避免它。但是这是一个非常危险的领域。希望这些会谈能够成功。我认为，如果他们成功，这将符合伊朗的最大利益。
当被问到时，特朗普不会透露地点或美国谈判代表的身份。然而，伊朗外交部长阿巴斯·阿拉格奇(Abbas Araghchi)后来在X上的一篇帖子中证实了这次会晤，他说4月12日的“间接高级别会谈”将在阿曼举行。
“这既是一个机会，也是一个考验，”阿拉格奇在邮报上说。
“如果与伊朗的谈判不成功，我认为伊朗将处于极大的危险之中，”特朗普说。“我讨厌这么说，巨大的危险，因为他们不能拥有核武器。你知道，这不是一个复杂的公式。伊朗不能拥有核武器。仅此而已。”
据官方媒体报道，上个月，伊朗总统马苏德·佩谢什基安赛义德在特朗普发出的一封信中拒绝了直接会谈的提议。
伊朗驻纽约外交使团周一没有立即置评。
如果会谈举行，这将标志着自特朗普总统于2018年退出2015年奥巴马时代与德黑兰的核协议(JCPOA)以来，美国和伊朗之间首次重要的、众所周知的直接会谈。
最近几周，特朗普威胁要对伊朗采取潜在的军事行动，以阻止其发展核武器。
“我们周六有一个非常重要的会议，我们正在直接处理他们，”他周一表示。“你知道，很多人说，‘哦，也许你是通过代理人，或者你不是直接交易。你通过其他国家进行交易。不，我们直接和他们打交道。也许会达成一项协议。"
“那太好了，”他继续说道。“我可以告诉你，这对伊朗来说真是太好了。但是希望我们不要陷入其中。我们将在周六会面，非常重要，几乎是最高级别的会面。我们会看到它是如何工作的。”
伊朗的核“突破时间”已经大幅缩短，大多数专家认为，德黑兰现在可以在短短一两周内生产足够制造一枚核弹的裂变材料。伊朗可能还需要几个月到一年的时间来研发可发射的核弹头。
Trump says US engaged in 'direct talks' with Iran over nuclear weapons
PresidentDonald Trumpon Monday said the United States is engaged in what he called "direct talks" with Iran over its nuclear program.
Making the surprise announcement while sitting alongsideIsraeliPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Oval Office, Trump said the discussions would be ramped up to high-level talks beginning this weekend.
"We're having direct talks with Iran, and they've started. It'll go on Saturday. We have a very big meeting, and we'll see what can happen," he said.
"And I think everybody agrees that doing a deal would be preferable to doing the obvious. And the obvious is not something that I want to be involved with, or, frankly, that Israel wants to be involved with if they can avoid it," he said.
"So, we're going to see if we can avoid it. But it's getting to be very dangerous territory. And hopefully those talks will be successful. And I think it would be in Iran's best interests if they are successful," he said.
When asked, Trump would not reveal the location or identify the U.S. negotiators. However, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi later confirmed the meeting in a post on X, in which he said that the "indirect high-level talks" on April 12 would take place in Oman.
“It is as much an opportunity as it is a test,” Araghchi said in the post.
"If the talks aren't successful with Iran, I think Iran is going to be in great danger," Trump said. "And I hate to say it, great danger, because they can't have a nuclear weapon. You know, it's not a complicated formula. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.That's all there is."
Last month, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkiansaid rejected an offer for direct talks in a letter sent by Trump, according to state media.
Iran's diplomatic mission in New York had no immediate comment Monday.
If the talks happen, they would mark the first significant, publicly known direct talks between the U.S. and Iran since President Trump exited the 2015 Obama-era nuclear deal (the JCPOA) with Tehran in 2018.
In recent weeks, Trump has threatened potential military action against Iran to keep it from developing nuclear weapons.
"We have a very big meeting on Saturday, and we're dealing with them directly," he said Monday. "You know, a lot of people say, 'Oh, maybe you're going through surrogates or you're not dealing directly. You're dealing through other countries.' No, we're dealing with them directly. And, maybe a deal is going to be made."
"That'll be great," he continued. "That be it'd be really great for Iran, I can tell you that. But hopefully we're not going to have to get into that. We we're meeting, very importantly on Saturday at almost the highest level. And we'll see how it works out."
Iran’s nuclear "breakout time" has dwindled dramatically, with most experts agreeing that Tehran could now produce enough fissile material for a nuclear bomb in just one or two weeks. It would likely take several months to a year beyond that for Iran to develop a deliverable warhead.
