US President Donald Trump says he wants to solve the issue of Iran's nuclear program, saying it is his preference to "work it out with Iran."
Trump told reporters on Friday that Iran is very high on his list of things to watch.
Trump had sent a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling for talks to curb the country's nuclear program. On Thursday, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi responded by saying indirect talks can continue if a third party will broker them.
Trump said, "We're gonna either have to talk and talk it out or very bad things are going to happen to Iran." He didn't mention the timing or format of the proposed talks.
Trump's previous administration unilaterally walked away from the nuclear agreement with Iran in 2018.
The next administration led by President Joe Biden held indirect talks with Iran in an effort to restore the nuclear agreement but failed to narrow the gap.
The focus is on whether the talks will lead to improved bilateral relationships, which have been at odds.
