U.S. and Iran Engage in Indirect Talks Amid Sanctions and Military Threats
The United States and Iran have concluded two rounds of indirect talks in Muscat, Oman, focusing on Iran's nuclear program. President Trump has reiterated that Iran will not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons, despite Iran's insistence on its right to enrich uranium. The talks, facilitated by Omani officials, are seen as a 'good start' by Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. However, the U.S. Treasury has imposed new sanctions on Iranian entities involved in illegal oil trading, complicating the diplomatic efforts.
