U.S. President Donald Trump has lauded the indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States, describing the meetings held in Qatar as "very good." Trump indicated that progress is being made in the discussions related to Iran's denuclearization efforts.

"Iran's denuclearization is moving forward well. They had very good meetings," Trump told reporters as he was about to board a new presidential aircraft, a gift from Qatar, for a trip to North Dakota. He added, "We hit them very hard, but we get along very well."

Trump referred to the ongoing talks as "denuclearization," stating that "everything is underway, everything is going well." These discussions aim to de-escalate tensions that have previously led to exchanges of fire between the two nations.

The U.S. president's comments follow indirect talks held in Doha, where Qatari mediators facilitated discussions between American and Iranian representatives. While the specifics of the progress remain undisclosed, Trump's positive assessment suggests a potential shift in the diplomatic landscape concerning Iran's nuclear program and broader bilateral relations.
