News Topical, Digital Desk : Tensions are simmering between Iran and the United States in the Middle East. Talks between the US and Iran have concluded in Geneva. Oman, which is mediating between the US and Iran, has described the talks as positive, raising hopes of a major diplomatic breakthrough.
Indeed, Oman's Foreign Minister, Bader Al-Busaidi, has claimed that Iran has agreed not to develop nuclear weapons and to completely destroy its stockpile of enriched uranium. Oman's Foreign Minister described this as a major step toward reducing tensions between Washington and Tehran.
Formula prepared in conversation
Oman's Foreign Minister, Bader Al-Busaidi, said in an interview with the American channel CBS that negotiations between the two countries have reached a formula under which Iran will not stockpile uranium that could produce nuclear weapons in the future. Following this statement by Oman's Foreign Minister, it is believed that the long-stalled nuclear deal has now reached its final stages.
Oman's foreign minister said Iran has not only committed to abandoning nuclear weapons but also promised to ensure "zero accumulation, zero stockpiling and full verification" under any agreement.
Trump will not back down
However, while the buzz of an Iran-US peace deal is growing, US President Donald Trump, expressing dissatisfaction with the slow pace of negotiations, has kept the option of military action open. While threatening military action if Iran refuses a comprehensive agreement, Trump has also indicated that he is willing to give the talks more time.
According to Oman's Foreign Minister, Bader al-Busaidi, Iran's existing enriched uranium stockpile will be reduced to the minimum enrichment level and converted into nuclear fuel in an irreversible manner. He said that if the agreement is properly implemented, US inspectors may also be allowed to inspect it in the future.
