Trump attack threat looms as nuclear talks between US and Iran go to wire

AI Summary

long article 4 min

High-stakes nuclear talks between the US and Iran continued in Geneva on Thursday, mediated by Oman, aiming for a permanent agreement on Tehran's nuclear program. The US demands permanent guarantees on uranium enrichment and inspections, while Iran insists on its right to domestic enrichment, a point of contention since the 2015 nuclear deal. The talks are complicated by US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio's demand to discuss Iran's ballistic missile program. The negotiations occur amidst a significant US military buildup in the region, raising concerns about a potential military assault by Donald Trump if an agreement isn't reached. Despite reported progress, gaps remain, requiring further consultation in both capitals.
