US President Donald Trump expressed measured optimism on Saturday regarding ongoing negotiations with Iran, noting that while talks are “going OK,” tangible outcomes remain the key indicator of progress.
“I think they’re going OK. Nothing matters until it’s done, so I prefer not to talk about it,” he told reporters while aboard Air Force One.
His comments followed a meeting in Oman between US Presidential Envoy Steven Witkoff, US Ambassador to Oman Ana Escrogima, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
According to the White House, the discussions were described as “very positive and constructive.”
Witkoff reportedly told Araghchi that he had been instructed by President Trump to seek a resolution to the two countries' differences through dialogue and diplomacy, if possible.
“These matters are highly complex, and Special Envoy Witkoff’s direct communication marked a step towards a potentially mutually beneficial outcome,” the White House added in a statement.
Both parties have agreed to hold another meeting next Saturday.
