Trump zegt dat VS en Iran klaar zijn voor directe nucleaire besprekingen

April 8, 2025 - President Donald Trump says that the U.S. will engage in “direct” negotiations with Iran on Saturday in a last-ditch effort to rein in the country's nuclear programme.

If direct talks take place, they would be the first official face-to-face negotiations between the two countries since Trump abandoned the Obama-era nuclear accord seven years ago. They would also come at a perilous moment, as Iran has lost the air defences around its key nuclear sites because of precise Israeli strikes last October. And Iran can no longer rely on its proxy forces in the Middle East – Hamas, Hezbollah and the now-ousted Assad government in Syria – to threaten Israel with retaliation, the NYT says.
