US special envoy Witkoff says US hopeful of meetings with Iran soon

President Donald Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, said on Friday that the US was hopeful there would be meetings with Iran this week.

"We think there will be meetings this week. We're certainly hopeful for it," Witkoff said at an investment forum in Miami, Florida.

"We have a 15-point deal on the table that the Iranians have had for a bit of time. We expect an answer from them, and it would solve it all," he said.
