US President Donald Trump said on May 1, 2026 that only a small group of people, including himself, truly knows the current state of negotiations with Iran. The remarks came as talks between Washington and Tehran continue over Iran's nuclear program and joint US-Israeli military operations targeting Iran.
"No one, except me and a few others, is fully informed about the real status of the negotiations with Iran," Trump stressed. The statement was made as the international community closely monitors developments in the Middle East, where a joint US-Israeli campaign against Iran has drawn attention.
Meanwhile, sources in Tehran have not issued an official response to Trump's assessment. Previous rounds of talks have faced numerous obstacles, particularly over nuclear issues and economic sanctions. Analysts suggest Trump's disclosure may be aimed at asserting White House control over the sensitive diplomatic process.
