President Donald Trump expressed optimism on Sunday regarding the ongoing negotiations with Iran about its nuclear program. Speaking to reporters in New Jersey, Trump suggested that a noteworthy announcement on the matter might be imminent, following substantial talks over the weekend.

These comments came after a fifth round of negotiations between the United States and Iran in Rome, which were mediated by Oman. Although the Omani representative described the progress as 'some but not conclusive,' Trump seemed more buoyant, suggesting a favorable development could soon be disclosed.

Engaged in discussions at the Omani Embassy, US officials Steve Witkoff and Michael Anton are working towards an agreement that would see curbs on Iran's nuclear ambitions in exchange for lifting certain US-imposed economic sanctions.
