Iran’s next move in high-stakes nuclear negotiations remains uncertain after its foreign ministry clarified Saturday that no decision has been made about attending planned talks with the U.S. 🇺🇸 The update comes amid swirling reports about Tehran potentially skipping a critical June 15 meeting in Oman.
What’s the Latest?
Conflicting signals are keeping diplomats on edge: While Iranian state media earlier suggested a withdrawal from the sixth round of talks, officials now say they’re "still weighing options" 💼 The ministry blamed recent tensions, including Israel’s military actions and perceived U.S. support for them, for casting doubt on the dialogue’s value.
Why the Hesitation?
⚡️ The 2015 nuclear deal’s revival hangs in the balance as trust frays. Analysts say Iran’s hesitation reflects growing frustration over sanctions relief delays and regional security concerns. With both sides playing diplomatic chess, the Oman meeting could be a make-or-break moment for détente.
🔍 "Every delay risks escalating proxy conflicts," says a Geneva-based policy researcher familiar with the talks. "The window for peaceful resolution is narrowing."
