Nuclear Discussions with Iran Set for Sunday
Gotta Move to Oman: Next Round of Nuckeer Talks Kicks Off Sunday
It's time to pack our bags and jet off to Oman, babes, as the next round of nuclear negotiations between the USA and Iran is set to get underway this Sunday. That's according to buzz from Tehran, with the Iranian news agency Tasnim reporting that a member of the negotiating team put the date and location out there. Yet, no confirmation's been spilled by the Yanks just yet.
Initially, the talks were slated for May 4 in Rome, but they got delayed due to "logistical hiccups," as mediated by Oman. But don't be fooled - experts reckon the real reason was the early bumps in the negotiating positions. The ongoing tussle has so far seen the participation of US special envoy Steve Witkoff, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtschi, and Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi holding the reins as mediator.
Remember back in 2015, when Iran agreed to eas up on its nukes in a deal? Yeah, well, that agreement allowed for significant cuts to the Iranian nuclear program, with sanctions being lifted in exchange. The pact, engineered to thwart the construction of Iranian atomic bombs, was axed by the previous US government under Donald Trump in 2018. Ain't that a kicker? Anyway, now Trump's pinning his hopes on a new deal with the Islamic Republic while simultaneously tossing out threats of bombings if no agreement's reached.
