Iran and US to Hold Nuclear Talks in Oman Amid Ongoing Tensions

Nuclear talks between Iran and the United States are scheduled for Friday in Muscat, Oman, following a shift from the originally planned venue in Turkey. Iran insists the discussions focus solely on its nuclear program and sanctions removal, rejecting inclusion of its ballistic missile program or regional issues. The US, while skeptical about the talks' success, agreed to proceed amid regional pressure. Tensions remain high after Iran's crackdown on protests and recent military incidents, with US President Donald Trump issuing warnings to Iran's leadership ahead of the negotiations.
