President Donald Trump announced that officials from his administration will have “top-level” direct talks with officials from the Islamic Republic of Iran this Saturday in hopes of reaching a new nuclear deal. If the talks are not successful, Trump said Iran would be “in great danger.”

“I think if the talks aren’t successful with Iran, I think Iran is going to be in great danger.” Trump said. “It’s not a complicated formula. Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon, that’s all there is.”

Trump declined to say where the talks would take place.

The talks follow the United States’ strike on the Houthis, an Iranian proxy group in Yemen that has disrupted global trade and fired ballistic missiles at Israel.

“I think everybody agrees that doing a deal will be preferable to doing the obvious and obvious is not something I want to be involved with or frankly that Israel wants to be involved with if they can avoid it,” Trump said. “So we’re going to see if we can avoid it but it’s getting to be very dangerous territory.”

Trump announced the talks during his Oval Office meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyanu, who fiercely opposed President Barack Obama’s 2015 Iran deal. Trump withdrew from the deal during his first term in 2018, calling it “one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into.”

Last month, during an interview with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo, Trump said Iran can be handled militarily or through making a deal.

“I would prefer to make a deal, because I’m not looking to hurt Iran,” Trump said. “They’re great people. I know so many Iranians from this country.”

“I would rather negotiate a deal,” he added. “I’m not sure that everybody agrees with me, but we can make a deal that would be just as good as if you won militarily. But the time is happening now. The time is coming up. Something’s going to happen one way or the other.”

Trump said that he wrote the Iranian regime a letter asking to negotiate.

Last week, an Iranian official said the country is “locked and loaded” for a strike on Great Britain’s Chagos Islands in the Central Indian Ocean, after Trump deployed at least three B-2 Spirit stealth bombers last month.

“Top commanders are being urged to launch preemptive strikes on the island and its base if Trump’s threats have become more serious,” an Iranian official informed The Telegraph.

“Discussions about the island have intensified since the Americans deployed bombers there…Some are suggesting that missiles be fired towards the island, not with the intent to hit anything, but to fall into the water to send a clear message to the Americans that we are serious.”
