Overview

  • The fifth round of US-Iran nuclear negotiations is underway in Rome, mediated by Oman, with both sides holding firm on key demands.
  • The US insists on a complete halt to Iran's uranium enrichment, while Tehran declares its enrichment program non-negotiable and continues at 60% purity.
  • Iran's foreign minister has warned the US of legal consequences for any Israeli attack on its nuclear facilities, following reports of Israeli military preparations.
  • Israel is reportedly training for a potential strike on Iranian nuclear sites, should negotiations collapse, and has sought US support for such actions.
  • The 2015 nuclear deal, which limited Iran's enrichment to 3.67% in exchange for sanctions relief, remains defunct following the US withdrawal in 2018 under President Trump.
