Iran and US Resume Indirect Nuclear Talks in Oman

Muscat, Oman Iran's top diplomat has arrived in Oman to participate in a fresh round of indirect nuclear talks with the United States. This marks the fourth time that representatives from both countries have met indirectly to discuss the Iranian nuclear program. The talks are being held in Oman, a neutral country that has often served as a mediator between the US and Iran.

The focus of the discussions is expected to be on Iran's nuclear activities and the potential for a return to the 2015 nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The JCPOA, which limited Iran's nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief, was abandoned by the United States in 2018. Since then, tensions between the two countries have escalated, and Iran has gradually rolled back its commitments under the agreement.

While the talks are indirect, meaning that US and Iranian officials will not meet face-to-face, they are seen as a crucial opportunity to de-escalate tensions and find a way forward. The outcome of these discussions could have significant implications for regional stability and international security. Observers will be closely watching for any signs of progress or breakthroughs in the coming days.
