Last Friday, a secret meeting was held at the White House between US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Gulf partners to discuss a potential deal worth $30 billion with Iran to return to the negotiation table. The proposal, which involved forging a civilian nuclear deal with Iran, involved spending billions of dollars on the Persian country's civilian nuclear program. Despite the positivity from the Trump administration towards the deal, officials from the Biden administration cast doubt on whether the deal would be met with favor. This comes as the Biden administration continues to seek a return to the 2015 nuclear deal that was originally brokered by the Obama administration, an agreement that Trump withdrew from in 2018.

The results of the meeting are still unknown, with many officials staying tight-lipped about the outcome. This comes as a surprise as the Trump administration has previously placed sweeping sanctions on Iran's nuclear program after the withdrawal from the Obama-era deal.

The deal would potentially act as a way to bring Iran back into talks as the country continues to enrich uranium to near-weapons grade levels. Iran has been very vocal in its defiance of the international community, explicitly rejecting negotiations unless Western powers lift crippling sanctions.
