In an unexpected move, President Donald Trump revealed that the U.S. and Iran are gearing up for discussions concerning Tehran's nuclear program. While Trump stated that talks would commence directly, Iran's Foreign Minister clarified that initial discussions, taking place in Oman, would be indirect.

Tensions remain high as Trump warned that failure in the negotiations could place Iran in significant peril. Meanwhile, Iran appears unwavering in its refusal to engage directly without meeting specific preconditions.

Earlier indirect negotiations saw minimal progress, and the complexity of regional politics—coupled with U.S. military posturing—underscores the sensitive nature of these impending talks.
