A US official confirmed that a meeting between the US and Iran could take place in Turkey.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump stated that a “large fleet” is moving towards Iran and expressed hope that Tehran would agree to negotiate “a fair and equal” deal that would entail the complete dismantling of its nuclear arsenal. The American leader reminded that in June 2025, the US struck Iranian nuclear facilities. He stated that “the next attack will be worse” and called for “not allowing that to happen.”
