On March 1, 2026, President Donald Trump stated that the U.S. is now better positioned to reach a diplomatic solution with Iran, claiming that negotiations have become 'much easier now than it was a day ago.' He noted that Iran is 'getting beat up bad' and commented on their response to U.S. military actions, saying that attacks on U.S. bases have been 'less than we thought.' This shift in tone comes after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi revealed that significant progress had been made toward a nuclear deal prior to recent U.S.-Israeli military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Oman’s Foreign Minister also indicated that indirect talks have made substantial headway, suggesting that peace is 'within reach' as Iran has agreed to eliminate its nuclear material stockpile.
