Summary

The White House has announced the United States has begun "direct talks" with Iran and a meeting between high-level officials from both countries is expected for this Saturday in Oman. The Trump administration is looking to stop Tehran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program and try to lower the tensions in the Middle East.

FOX’s Eben Brown speaks with Benham Ben Taleblu, senior director for the Iran program at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, who says the United States is in a position to apply even more pressure on Iran, rather than seek a quick deal.
