Iran has refused to halt uranium enrichment during negotiations with the United States in Oman, maintaining its stance on its right to enrich uranium while expressing willingness to discuss the level and purity of enrichment. Missile capabilities were not addressed in the talks, and both sides indicated that further discussions are expected in the coming days, with the United States seeking a significant concession from Iran. The talks occurred amid heightened military tensions, including the arrival of a US aircraft carrier in the region and warnings from Israeli officials about potential responses to Iranian actions. Despite some positive signals from Iranian officials, major gaps remain between the parties, and regional diplomats have proposed a deal that Iran has so far rejected, fueling concerns about the prospects for a resolution and the risk of escalation.
