Event Summary

The United States and Iran are engaged in a third round of indirect talks in Geneva, mediated by Oman, to avert conflict over Iran's nuclear program. Donald Trump has threatened military strikes if a deal is not reached, while Iran has vowed retaliation and rejected demands to halt uranium enrichment and support for regional proxies. The United States has significantly increased its military presence in the Middle East. Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes, despite enriching uranium to near weapons-grade levels and denying International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors access to damaged sites. Key figures involved include Donald Trump, Abbas Araghchi, Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and Badr Albusaidi. Israel, led by Benjamin Netanyahu, is also a significant player, advocating for a tougher stance against Iran.
