President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. is engaging in direct talks with Iran to prevent it from developing nuclear weapons, warning that failure could result in "great danger" for Iran.

Axar.az reports, speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said the talks are aimed at avoiding military conflict, which he described as "the obvious."

While details remain scarce, Trump emphasized that Iran must not acquire nuclear weapons and suggested the stakes are high. The announcement comes after Trump withdrew from the Obama-era nuclear deal, which offered sanctions relief in exchange for limits on Iran’s nuclear activities.

Critics argue Trump's "maximum pressure" policy has pushed Iran closer to nuclear capability. Iran maintains its nuclear program is for civilian purposes only.
