Muscat: US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff emphasized that any potential agreement with Iran would need to be aligned with a framework for peace in the Middle East. Witkoff stated that such a deal could only be considered if it is a "Trump deal," ensuring Iran halts its nuclear enrichment and weaponization efforts. According to Kuwait News Agency, Witkoff articulated the necessity for a robust and equitable agreement that can withstand the test of time, which aligns with the directive given by President Donald J. Trump. These remarks followed his participation in the initial round of direct discussions between the United States and Iran held in Oman. Witkoff further underscored the importance of establishing specific measures to verify the peaceful intent of Iran's uranium enrichment program, highlighting the critical need for transparency and accountability in any prospective agreement.
