Trump envoy to meet Iran’s foreign minister for stalled nuclear deal talks
Trump says military action still possible over Iran nuclear deadlock
- Donald Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff, is scheduled to meet Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Oman to discuss Tehran's response to the US proposal for a nuclear agreement.
- Iran has presented a counterproposal, deeming the US offer to halt uranium enrichment as "unacceptable."
- Trump has expressed diminishing confidence that Tehran will agree to halt uranium enrichment as part of a deal with Washington and warned military action remained on the table if an agreement could not be reached.
- Negotiations between the US and Iran have been ongoing since April, primarily mediated by Oman, with the US aiming to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons.
- Amid stalled negotiations, Trump announced the withdrawal of some American personnel from the Middle East, citing potential dangers, while US intelligence suggests a possible Israeli strike on Iranian nuclear facilities.
