Event Summary

Iran and the United States are set to hold a third round of nuclear talks in Geneva, mediated by Oman, amidst escalating concerns of military conflict. Iran is reportedly offering new concessions on its nuclear program, including sending half of its highly enriched uranium abroad and diluting the rest, in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions and recognition of its right to peaceful nuclear enrichment. The United States, led by President Donald Trump, has increased its military presence in the Middle East and demands Iran curb its nuclear program, missile program, and support for regional armed groups. Past talks failed over US demands for Iran to forgo uranium enrichment. Both sides express cautious optimism for a diplomatic solution, despite differing views on sanctions and other issues. The US has also engaged with Iranian opposition figures like Reza Pahlavi.
