(Patria) - US President Donald Trump's lead negotiators for Iran, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, visited the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea on Saturday, the US military said, as Washington and Tehran are set to hold further talks soon, AFP reported.
The US military's Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that the two officials visited the nuclear-powered vessel in a social media post.
In his social media post, Witkoff said the aircraft carrier and its strike group "protect us and support President Trump's message of peace through strength."
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Saturday he hopes talks with the United States will resume soon, reiterated Tehran's red lines and warned against any US attack.
The two sides held the first round of indirect talks in Oman on Friday, which Araghchi called "a good start." Trump described the talks as "very good."
The USS Abraham Lincoln arrived in the Middle East in January, as Trump intensified threats against Iran over its crackdown on widespread anti-government protests.
Friday's talks were the first since nuclear negotiations between Iran and the United States collapsed last year following an Israeli attack on Iran, which sparked a twelve-day war. During the war, US warplanes bombed Iranian nuclear facilities.
