According to Axios, the White House is discussing with Iran the possibility of a meeting this week between U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
The outlet cited four unnamed sources familiar with the matter.
A potential meeting would discuss a nuclear deal and ending of the Iran-Israel war.

Per Axios:
The meeting hasn’t been finalized yet, but it is part of a last-ditch effort by President Trump to swerve away from war and back toward dealmaking.
“A meeting with the Iranians this week is under consideration,” a U.S. official confirmed.
The meeting could be a make-or-break moment for the question of whether the U.S. will join the war in order to eliminate Iran’s nuclear program militarily.
Trump sees the massive bunker busters needed to destroy Iran’s underground enrichment facility at Fordow — which the U.S. has and Israel does not — as a key point of leverage to get Iran to cut a deal, a senior U.S. official said.
Describing the decision on bunker busters as an “inflection point,” the official said Trump “thinks in terms of deals and leverage. And this is leverage.”
“They do want to talk,” the senior official continued. “But what we don’t know is, ‘have they been brought to their knees fully so that they realize that in order to have a country, they have to talk?’ And assuming they get there, is there any degree of enrichment you would allow them to have?”
French President Emmanuel Macron claimed President Trump proposed a ceasefire between Iran and Israel.
“There is an offer that has been made, especially to have a ceasefire and to initiate broader discussions,” he said.

From the New York Post:
Macron’s comments come as Trump warned that “Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran,” and reports indicate that the president will give the Iranian regime one last chance to sign off on a deal that seeks to prevent it from enriching uranium needed for a nuclear weapon.
The White House and Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.
