President Donald Trump made the surprise announcement that his administration will hold a meeting “at almost the highest level” directly with Iran this Saturday to discuss a nuclear deal.

“Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,” Trump told reporters, sitting alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “If the talks aren’t successful, I actually think it’ll be a very bad day for Iran in that case.”

Iran has not yet confirmed the meeting.
