US, Iran eye tentative nuclear talks as regional diplomacy intensifies

AI Summary

short article 1 min

The US and Iran are considering renewed nuclear talks amid increased regional diplomacy led by Gulf monarchies and Turkey, aimed at preventing further conflict. The potential talks follow signals from the US indicating a preference for diplomacy over regime change in Iran, with a focus on preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons. US President Trump has seemingly rebuffed attempts by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to influence the negotiation principles, as Netanyahu seeks a deal that further limits Iran's ability to strike Israel. These developments suggest a shift in US strategy towards Iran, prioritizing nuclear non-proliferation through negotiation.
