He spoke aboard Air Force One before heading to Mar-a-Lago after meetings in Oman involving his son-in-law Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, and Iran\u2019s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi, who called the talks a \u201cgood start\u201d and said they would continue. Iran urged that negotiations focus only on its nuclear program,while the U.S. sought to expand the agenda to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/iran-launches-missiles-toward-israel-idf-says-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"... launches missiles toward Israel, IDF says - Washington Examiner\">include ballistic missiles<\/a> and Tehran\u2019s regional influence. Trump argued there is an acceptable deal that would prohibit nuclear weapons, noting Iran seems more willing to negotiate now than at the start of his term. Separately, the State Department announced sanctions on Iran\u2019s so-called \u201cshadow fleet,\u201d targeting 15 entities, two individuals, and 14 vessels for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-ignores-congressional-inquiries-into-iran-sanctions-relief\/\" title=\"Biden Admin Ignores Congressional Inquiries Into ...
