Iran, U.S. Prepare For Nuclear Talks In Oman Friday

Iran and the United States are set for talks Friday in Oman over Tehran's nuclear program. This comes after Israel launched a 12-day war on Iran in June and Iran's crackdown on nationwide protests. President Donald Trump has increased pressure on Iran and moved aircraft carriers to the Gulf, suggesting possible military action over the protests. Trump has also pushed Iran's nuclear program back into focus after the June war disrupted previous talks. Oman has mediated past talks between the two nations. Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful, but has been enriching uranium to near-weapons-grade levels.
