The United States and Iran are set for talks on Iran’s nuclear programme in Oman on Saturday.
Iran has warned that it could expel UN nuclear watchdog inspectors from the country in response to “external threats” as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the United States and Iran will hold direct talks in Oman on Saturday to discuss Iran’s nuclear programme.
Relations between the two nations have been tense since US President Donald Trump said in February he was re-imposing a “maximum pressure” campaign.
On Wednesday, Trump said military action was “absolutely” possible against Iran if talks between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff end without a deal.
“Israel will obviously be very much involved in that, be the leader of that [military action],” Trump added.
Iran has consistently denied seeking to acquire nuclear weapons.
