US and Iran to hold further talks as pressure for nuclear deal builds
US and Iran are set to meet in Geneva for a third round of indirect talks, as pressure mounts for a nuclear deal. The discussions come amid heightened tensions stemming from the US military buildup in the Middle East and Iran's vow to respond to any attack with force. While President Donald Trump has threatened military action if a deal isn't reached, he hasn't clearly outlined his demands or the reasoning behind potential strikes. Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes and has indicated willingness to make concessions but has rejected US demands to halt uranium enrichment. The talks will likely focus on creating a regional consortium for uranium enrichment and addressing Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium, with both sides seeking relief from sanctions. The outcome of the negotiations remains uncertain, with concerns about potential escalation and wider conflict in the region.
