Witkoff: Trump wants to resolve the conflict with Iran diplomatically

US President Donald Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, said the president is determined to resolve the conflict with Iran diplomatically and through dialogue, stressing that Trump has sent all necessary signals, including direct messages to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Witkoff told ABC News that the United States has a clear red line regarding nuclear enrichment, adding, "We cannot allow even 1 percent enrichment because enrichment gives us the capability to build a nuclear weapon, and we will not allow a bomb to reach here."

Witkoff emphasized that any potential agreement must be built on this foundation, saying, "From our perspective, everything starts with an agreement that does not include enrichment. We cannot accept that at all."

However, Witkoff expressed US hope for progress.

He continued, "Apart from that, there are many ways we can achieve our goals in these negotiations. We believe we will hold a meeting this week in Europe, and we hope that this will lead to some real positive results. That is our current position."

Witkoff said that the United States will not allow a humanitarian disaster to occur in the Gaza Strip under Trump.

"The question now, in my opinion, is: How do we logistically get all these trucks into Gaza? How do we set up aid distribution stations? Mobile kitchens will be sent into Gaza, and there are trucks loaded with flour waiting at the border. The Israeli authorities have indicated that they will begin allowing more of these trucks into Gaza," Witkoff added.

Aid organizations have warned that the Gaza Strip is on the brink of a humanitarian disaster, with Israel halting all aid from entering since March 2.
