From Air Force One, en route to Mar-a-Lago, he commented on the negotiations after top aide Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Iran\u2019s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, in Oman. Araghchi agreed it was a good start and said the talks would continue. Iran wants to limit discussions to its nuclear program, while the U.S. wants to broaden the agenda to include missiles and regional influence. Trump told the Washington Examiner there is a deal that would be acceptable, provided it bans nuclear weapons; he suggested such an agreement would have been accepted two years ago if Iran had agreed. He also said Iran is more willing to negotiate now than at the start of his term. The remarks followed new State Department sanctions on Iran\u2019s \u201cshadow fleet,\u201d targeting 15 entities, two individuals, and 14 vessels accused of aiding illicit oil exports, with the move tied to Iran\u2019s treatment of protesters and regional destabilization.<\/p>\n<p>55-character headline option:<br \/>\nTrump: Iran talks in Oman were very good<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4130,"featured_media":2567213,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Iran-Oman.jpg?w=696","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651,538],"tags":[73212,37216,73194,73245,54349],"class_list":["post-2567212","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","category-washington-examiner","tag-iran-negotiations","tag-middle-east-policy","tag-oman-talks-2","tag-trump-diplomacy","tag-us-iran-relations"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Iran-Oman.jpg?w=696","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2567212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4130"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2567212"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2567212\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2567218,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2567212\/revisions\/2567218"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2567213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2567212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2567212"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2567212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
