US-Iran Nuclear Talks Set for Oman Amid Format Dispute

The United States and Iran prepare for indirect negotiations on Tehran's nuclear program as tensions rise over uranium enrichment and diplomatic mistrust.

  • Talks are scheduled for Saturday in Oman, with Iran insisting on indirect discussions mediated by Oman, contrary to US President Donald Trump's claim of direct negotiations.
  • The negotiations aim to address Iran's rapidly advancing uranium enrichment, which has reached 60% purity, nearing weapons-grade levels.
  • Iranian officials express skepticism over US intentions, citing mistrust and concerns that the US seeks to curb Iran's regional influence beyond its nuclear activities.
  • The US continues its 'maximum pressure' campaign, with sanctions targeting Iran's economy and oil exports, while Trump warns of potential military action if talks fail.
  • Global actors like Russia and China call for de-escalation through diplomacy, while Israel advocates for a tougher stance and warns of possible military action.
