However, the ongoing military buildup by the United States and the unresolved issues regarding Iran's missile program still pose risks.

The discussions, which will continue next week in Vienna, focus on Iran's nuclear program, while the United States also demands curtailment of Iran's missile program and support for militant groups. Donald Trump had issued a 15-day ultimatum to Iran, accompanied by a substantial US military buildup in the Middle East, including the deployment of the United States===USS Gerald R.

UN nuclear chief Rafael Grossi joined the negotiations. Key figures like US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi are involved, with Abbas Araghchi calling the talks a 'historic opportunity'.
