US-Iran Nuclear Talks Resume in Oman with No Clear Path Forward

Indirect negotiations mediated by Oman aim to prevent military conflict, but both sides lack defined strategies for a comprehensive agreement.

US and Iranian delegations held indirect nuclear talks in Oman, marking a renewed effort to address Iran's nuclear program and regional tensions.
The discussions are seen as critical to averting a potential military confrontation involving the US, Israel, and Iran.
Iran seeks relief from crippling sanctions and aims to rebuild its regional influence, while the US focuses on preventing Iran from advancing its nuclear weapons capabilities.
The negotiation process relies heavily on Oman’s mediation, with only brief direct interactions between US envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtschi.
European nations, once central to such talks, have been sidelined, reflecting a shift in diplomatic dynamics.
