Iran’s Foreign Minister has confirmed plans to meet with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff this weekend for 'indirect talks' on a potential new nuclear deal, which could mark a critical diplomatic breakthrough. However, this statement seems to contradict President Trump’s earlier assertion that direct talks had already begun. He acknowledged that the situation was leading into dangerous territory but expressed hope that the talks would succeed, emphasizing that it would be in Iran’s best interest if they were successful. Direct or indirect, the talks still represent a significant development in U.S.-Iran relations. Colonel William Dunn, an expert in strategic resilience and former U.S. Marine Corps officer, joins to provide further insight. He discusses why Iran is meeting now, after it has continually rejected direct talks with the U.S. He also shares how close Iran is to having the capacity to build a nuclear weapon and what impact that could have on the negotiations.
