Just minutes before heading into a strategic session on Iran, U.S. President Donald Trump told Axios that in his opinion, Israel’s massive strike has likely increased the chances of reaching a nuclear agreement between the U.S. and Iran.

According to an American official, White House envoy Steve Witkoff still wants to meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Sunday for the planned sixth round of nuclear talks, but the Iranians say they will not participate.

Trump wants to use the war started by Israel to bring the Iranians back to the negotiating table — this time from a weaker position.
