Nobody else could do that,\u201d President Trump <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/7280114\/donald-trump-2025-interview-transcript\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said in an interview with Time magazine<\/a> published on Friday. Mr. Trump abandoned a previous nuclear deal with Iran in 2018 during his first term, saying it was a flawed agreement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The talks have the potential to reshape regional and global security by reducing the chance of a U.S.-backed Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities and preventing Iran from producing a nuclear weapon. A deal could also transform Iran\u2019s economic and political landscape by easing American sanctions and opening the country up to foreign investors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-6f5b1c20\">What\u2019s happening on Saturday?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Steve Witkoff, Mr. Trump\u2019s Middle East envoy; Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian foreign minister; and teams of technical experts from both sides will meet in the Gulf sultanate of Oman, which is mediating the talks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This round will include the nuts-and-bolts \u201cexpert talks,\u201d which bring together nuclear and financial teams from both sides to hash out technical details. These could include issues such as the monitoring of Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities, its uranium enrichment levels and what will happen to its stockpiles of highly enriched uranium<strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">, <\/strong>along with easing sanctions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump himself has defined the objective of the negotiations as preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Officials in his administration, however, have sent mixed messages about what that means. Saturday\u2019s talks could help clarify the outlines of a deal.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-4260b111\">What\u2019s at stake?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A new nuclear agreement could delay or avert a broader conflict between Iran and Israel and the United States. Israel and Iran have traded <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/01\/world\/middleeast\/iran-israel-strike.html\" title=\"\">direct attacks<\/a> since the war in Gaza began in 2023.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last week, The New York Times <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/16\/us\/politics\/trump-israel-iran-nuclear.html\" title=\"\">reported<\/a> that Israel had planned to attack Iranian nuclear sites as soon as next month, but it was <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/16\/us\/politics\/trump-israel-iran-nuclear.html\" title=\"\">waved off<\/a> by Mr. Trump, who wanted to negotiate an agreement with Tehran instead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump, in his Time interview, said he did not stop Israel\u2019s attack.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cBut I didn\u2019t make it comfortable for them, because I think we can make a deal without the attack. I hope we can,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s possible we\u2019ll have to attack because Iran will not have a nuclear weapon.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Iran has been enriching uranium to around 60 percent purity, just short of the levels needed to produce a weapon. It has amassed enough to build several bombs if it chooses to weaponize, according to the U.N.\u2019s nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Iran says its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, and the I.A.E.A. has said it has not found signs of weaponization.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">If its nuclear facilities are attacked, Iran has said it would retaliate fiercely and would consider leaving the U.N. Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Iran\u2019s economy and the future of its 90 million people are also on the line.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Years of sanctions have created chronic inflation \u2014 exacerbated by economic mismanagement and corruption. Now, many Iranians say they feel <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/07\/04\/world\/middleeast\/iran-economy.html\" title=\"\">trapped in a downward spiral<\/a> and hope that a U.S.-Iran deal would help.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-6246f54f\">What happened in previous talks?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The first round of nuclear talks was <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/19\/world\/middleeast\/us-iran-nuclear-talks.html\" title=\"\">in Oman<\/a> two weeks ago, followed by a second round in Rome last weekend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Both sides have said the negotiations have been constructive and that they were moving in the right direction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Iranian officials have said they are willing to reduce enrichment levels to those specified in the 2015 nuclear agreement with the Obama administration \u2014 3.67 percent \u2014 around the level needed to produce fuel for nuclear power plants.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-3f8e9aad\">What are the sticking points?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The question of whether to allow Iran to continue enriching uranium has divided Mr. Trump\u2019s advisers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Witkoff has described a possible agreement that would allow Iran to enrich uranium at the low levels needed to produce fuel for energy, along with monitoring.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But in a podcast interview this week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested that Iran could have a civilian nuclear program without enriching uranium domestically \u2014 by importing enriched uranium, as other countries do.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mike Waltz, the national security adviser, has said the United States was seeking a total dismantling of Iran\u2019s nuclear program, a position Iran has deemed a nonstarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Iran invited the United States to invest in its nuclear program and help build 19 more nuclear reactors as an extra measure of security, according to Mr. Araghchi, the foreign minister.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe trillion-dollar opportunity that our economy presents may be open to U.S. enterprises,\u201d Mr. Araghchi said in a speech he shared on social media. \u201cThis includes companies which can help us generate clean electricity from non-hydrocarbon sources.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Agreeing to limits on how much enriched uranium Iran can possess and to what level it can enrich exposes Mr. Trump to criticism that he is only replicating the key elements of the Obama-era nuclear agreement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Analysts say some possible measures to improve on the old deal could include more stringent monitoring of Iran\u2019s nuclear activities, joint ventures to run the nuclear facilities and making Iran\u2019s guarantees permanent.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-31299e01\">How did we get here?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The two sides came into the negotiations with <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/16\/world\/middleeast\/iran-trump-nuclear-talks.html\" title=\"\">deep distrust<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The previous deal between Iran and the United States and other world powers was called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It put measures in place to prevent Iran from weaponizing its nuclear program by capping enrichment of uranium at 3.5 percent, transferring stockpiles of enriched uranium to Russia and allowing monitoring cameras and inspections by the I.A.E.A.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">European companies pulled out of Iran, and banks stopped working with Iran, fearing U.S. sanctions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">About a year after the deal was reached, Iran, not seeing any financial benefits, moved away from its obligations and increased its levels uranium enrichment, gradually reaching 60 percent.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"css-13o6u42 eoo0vm40\" id=\"link-29e3a6d9\">What comes next?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">So far, there appears to be political will on both sides to reach a new deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Iran\u2019s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who had barred negotiating with Mr. Trump in the past, authorized the talks and said the negotiating team has his support.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But a deal is not necessarily around the corner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Talks could still break down at the technical level, which was the most challenging part of previous negotiations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It is also possible that an interim deal could be reached to freeze uranium enrichment while a permanent deal is hashed out.<\/p>\n<p
