A: Hey! Did you hear anything about Iran in the news?

B: No! What's going on? It feels like a lot is happening lately.

A: Apparently, Iran is saying they’re ready to talk again about their nuclear stuff.

B: Really? President Trump has been pushing them, right? With the ships and everything?

A: Yeah, exactly! They had a guy, Abbas Araghchi, giving a news conference in Istanbul. He said they're ready for "fair" talks.

B: But they don’t want to meet with the Americans directly yet, huh?

A: That’s what it sounds like. But the US wants Iran to stop *all* uranium enrichment.

B: Oh wow. Iran says their nuclear stuff is just for peaceful uses. They deny wanting nuclear weapons.

A: Totally. And Araghchi was hinting that if the US attacked again, like they did last June, things would get serious.

B: Seriously! Trump mentioned a big group of ships too, like a whole armada!

A: He wouldn't say if he’d give them a deadline, so mysterious! He did say they *want* a deal, though.

B: So, it’s still a tense situation, huh? Let’s hope they can figure something out!
