(Washington Post) Michael Birnbaum - President Donald Trump said Monday, "We're having direct talks with Iran, and they've started. It'll go on Saturday." Tehran has repeatedly said it is not interested in direct, face-to-face talks with the U.S. and would agree only to indirect negotiations through a third party. On Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi again rejected direct talks, but confirmed that "indirect high-level talks" would be held Saturday in Oman. "I think everybody agrees that doing a deal would be preferable to doing the obvious," Trump said, apparently referring to bombing Iran. "And the obvious is not something that I want to be involved in or frankly that Israel wants to be involved with, if they can avoid it. So we're going to see if we can avoid it. But it's getting to be very dangerous territory, and hopefully those talks will be successful."
