Plans are underway for another round of peace talks between the United States and Iran. Fox's Trey Yinkst is in Tel Aviv with more. We've been talking with U.S. officials. They say the Trump administration is not going to make the same mistakes that previous administrations made. They're not going to let the Iranians drag out these talks indefinitely. If the president does send another team back to Islamabad or a different location in the region, it would be to get a deal done or ultimately look at other options. We do understand there are conversations taking place about scheduling the second round of talks. But after the Iranians have had a few days to go back to Tehran and speak with top officials, the expectation. is they would be able to come back to the negotiating table with a serious set of conditions and the consultations that would allow them to make a final decision and create some sort of good faith agreement with the United States.
President Trump broke the previous nuclear agreement with Iran back in 2016, although his advisors at the time said Iran was in compliance with the terms. Back in our area, a shooting at Iraniquet last week, turning deadly.
