47% : "Where our red line will be, there can't be weaponisation of your nuclear capability," Witkoff added.

46% : They will be the highest-level discussions between the foes since an international agreement on Iran's nuclear programme crumbled with Trump pulling out in 2018 during his first term in office.
39% : Witkoff told The Wall Street Journal that "our position today" starts with demanding that Iran completely dismantle its nuclear programme -- a view of hardliners around Trump that few expect Iran would ever accept.
38% : They were announced just days ago by Trump during a White House press appearance with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
37% : But they can't have a nuclear weapon," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, hours before the talks were due to begin.
30% : "If it requires military, we're going to have military," Trump said this week, when asked what would happen if the talks fail to produce a deal.
