Overview

  • Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US envoy Steve Witkoff lead delegations for the fourth round of indirect talks in Muscat, Oman.
  • Iran has reiterated that its right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes is non-negotiable, calling it a national achievement.
  • The US insists on zero enrichment, demanding the dismantlement of Iran's key nuclear facilities in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan.
  • Negotiations are focused on limiting Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, but both sides remain entrenched in their red lines.
  • The talks come as President Trump prepares for a Middle East visit, with military action still on the table if diplomacy fails.
