U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday night commented on the first round of talks with Iran in Oman, describing them as �very good.�

Speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said, �Iran looks like it wants to make a deal very badly. We�re going to meet again early next week.�

�There�s plenty of time for a deal,� he added, emphasizing that Iran will not be allowed to possess nuclear weapons, which he called a red line for the United States.

In response, Ibrahim Rezaei, spokesman for the Iranian Parliament�s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, lashed out at Trump, saying: �Trump is a liar. The Iranian government has not withdrawn and will not withdraw from its red lines. The Americans, having failed in all other options, now have no choice but to accept Iran�s principles and rights.�

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who joined the talks in Oman, told Al Jazeera that �the negotiations were a good start, but there’s still a long road ahead before we can build mutual trust.”

�Zero uranium enrichment is not up for negotiation,” he added. “Enrichment is our unquestionable right and must continue. Even a military strike cannot destroy our capabilities.�

Addressing Iran�s missile program, Araghchi said, �This issue is not negotiable now or in the future because it concerns our defense. The possibility of war always exists, and we are prepared for it.�
