President Also Confirms US Military on Standby for All Contingencies
US President Donald Trump has expressed optimism over ongoing diplomatic engagement with Iran, indicating that a second round of nuclear talks could take place within the next 36 to 72 hours — potentially as early as Friday — and hinting that a positive development may be on the horizon.
Speaking to an American newspaper, Trump said he expects the upcoming round of negotiations to yield encouraging results, raising hopes of a diplomatic breakthrough in one of the world’s most closely watched geopolitical standoffs.
However, Trump was careful to underscore that military readiness remains a parallel priority. He confirmed that he has directed US armed forces to be prepared for every possible scenario — a statement that signals Washington’s intent to maintain maximum pressure even as diplomacy progresses.
The first round of US-Iran talks had been described by both sides as constructive, marking a notable thaw after years of hostility and failed diplomatic overtures. The discussions center primarily on Iran’s advancing nuclear programme, which Western nations fear is aimed at weapons development — a charge Tehran consistently denies.
International observers are watching the developments closely, with many hoping the second round could lay the groundwork for a broader agreement that would ease tensions across the Middle East.
