US and Iran Begin Constructive Nuclear Talks in Oman

Both nations agree to reconvene next week following mediated discussions on Tehran's nuclear program and regional tensions.

The United States and Iran initiated indirect high-level nuclear talks in Muscat, Oman, mediated by Omani officials, marking their first engagement since 2018.
Both sides described the discussions as constructive and respectful, with a brief face-to-face interaction between the lead negotiators at the conclusion of the talks.
Key topics include limiting Iran's nuclear enrichment, regional de-escalation, prisoner exchanges, and potential sanctions relief.
Iran's uranium enrichment has reached 60% purity, a step close to weapons-grade levels, raising international concerns over its nuclear ambitions.
The talks, seen as a critical step to avoid military conflict, will resume on April 19, with both parties expressing cautious optimism about further progress.
