Overview

• The United States and Iran have completed three rounds of indirect nuclear negotiations, with a fourth round expected soon, as both sides report progress toward an agreement.
• Talks aim to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons while allowing a peaceful nuclear energy program and lifting U.S. sanctions.
• Israel remains opposed to the current trajectory, demanding the complete dismantlement of Iran's nuclear infrastructure and restrictions on its missile program.
• Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has accused Israel of attempting to disrupt negotiations and has highlighted a 'trillion-dollar' investment opportunity for the U.S. as part of a potential deal.
• President Donald Trump has expressed optimism about reaching a peaceful resolution, emphasizing diplomacy over military action but keeping military options on the table if talks fail.
