President Donald Trump hints at an announcement in the 'next two days' on Iran nuclear talks
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Sunday indicated there was progress with Iran on its nuclear program and hinted that an announcement could come in the 'next two days.'
He was notably more upbeat than the Omani mediator of the talks between the United States and Iran, who said Friday that the two nations made 'some but not conclusive' progress in the fifth round of negotiations in Rome.
'We've had some very, very good talks with Iran,' Trump told reporters in northern New Jersey after leaving his golf club, where he spent most of the weekend. 'And I don't know if I'll be telling you anything good or bad over the next two days, but I have a feeling I might be telling you something good."
He emphasized that 'we've had some real progress, serious progress" in talks that took place on Saturday and Sunday.
'Let's see what happens, but I think we could have some good news on the Iran front,' Trump said.
Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff and Michael Anton, the State Department's policy planning director, represented the U.S. at the talks at the Omani Embassy in Rome.
The two countries are discussing how to curb Iran's nuclear program in exchange for lifting some economic sanctions that the U.S. has imposed on the Islamic Republic.

Google Confirms Almost All Gmail Users Must Upgrade Accounts
Change your account now. Your email is under attack. You know this, of course, but Google has just confirmed that 61% of email users have been targeted by attacks. If that sounds alarming, the situation with text messaging is even worse, hitting almost all American phone users. Google warns that more than 60% of U.S. users saw 'an increase in scams over the past year,' with more than half 'personally experiencing a data breach.' While these numbers are 'far from surprising,' Google says, what is surprising is that almost all users are yet to upgrade accounts to make them safer and more secure. Most users, Google says, 'still rely on older sign-in methods like passwords and two-factor authentication (2FA),' despite the push to upgrade accounts to passkeys and social sign-ins, which uses authenticated platforms like 'Sign in with Google.' The situation is slightly more promising with younger users. 'Digitally-native Gen Z users are bypassing outdated security norms like passwords, opting for more advanced authentication tools.' This younger generation is 'more reliant on passkeys or social sign-ins,' albeit they're also more likely to reuse and less likely to change passwords. Google warns 'passwords are not only painful to maintain, but are also more prone to phishing and often leaked through data breaches.' And that's the real issue. 'It's important to use tools that automatically secure your account and protect you from scams,' Google tells users, and that means upgrading accounts now. Google says 'we want to move beyond passwords altogether, while keeping sign-ins as easy as possible.' That includes social sign ins, but mainly it means passkeys. 'Passkeys are phishing-resistant and can log you in simply with the method you use to unlock your device (like your fingerprint or face ID) — no password required.' Adding a passkey to your Google account also means 'you can rely on just your Google Account to log in to your favorite websites and apps — limiting the number of accounts you have to maintain.' Put more simply, because passkeys link to your hardware — primarily your phone, this secure device becomes a digital key for critical accounts. Microsoft has gone further than Google and is pushing for users to delete passwords altogether, given they present an account vulnerability if still in place. While you can't do that with your Google account today, you can avoid using your password and you can change 2FA to remove SMS texts and only use options linked to your devices — an authenticator apps or Google prompts. Upgrade your account today.
