AI Summary

medium article 3 min

The US and Iran have agreed to hold nuclear talks in Oman on Friday, despite recent tensions and disagreements over the location and scope of discussions. The meeting, scheduled to begin at 10:00 (06:00 GMT) in Muscat, was confirmed by both Iranian and US officials. These talks come as President Trump has issued warnings to Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei, threatening military action if a nuclear deal isn't reached and the country doesn't cease killing protesters. While Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful, the US seeks broader negotiations encompassing ballistic missiles, support for terrorist groups, and the treatment of Iranian citizens. The US agreed to the Oman location request to be respectful to allies, but remains skeptical of the talks' potential for success.
