While the US continues its military buildup near Iran, negotiations between the US and Iran remain the priority. After today’s meeting with Israel’s Prime Minister in Washington, DC, President Trump stated that negotiations with Iran over its nuclear stockpiles will continue. He also suggested a military option if these talks fail to produce an agreement.
The US and Iran are engaged in negotiations in Oman. Iran claims the scope of the talks is limited to its nuclear program. However, the US’s demands extend beyond the nuclear program to include Iran’s ballistic missile stockpiles and its support of militia groups in the Middle East.
US and Iranian negotiators have returned to their respective countries for consultations after their initial indirect talks in Oman.
