A high-stakes diplomatic push to end the weeks-long conflict between the United States and Iran has entered a decisive phase. On Thursday, US President Donald Trump has declared that Iran agreeing not to pursue a nuclear weapon would be the mark of successful peace talks with Tehran in Pakistan this weekend.

Trump, while speaking to reporters, said, “No nuclear weapon number one." When asked what a good deal looks like, he said, “I think it’s already been a regime change, but we never had that as a criterion. No nuclear weapon; that’s 99 percent of it."

Speaking about US Vice President JD Vance, who is leading the US delegation, Trump wished him luck and said he has “got a big thing."

Earlier, the vice president said that he expected a positive outcome from negotiations, insisting that the US would reciprocate whether Iran comes to talks in good faith or “tries to play us," adding that the negotiating team was under “clear guidance" from the president.
