Iran Continues Uranium Enrichment Amid IAEA Censure, US-Iran Talks Expected Oman

President Donald Trump has emphasized his administration's commitment to resolving the Iran nuclear issue through diplomacy while warning that Iran must completely abandon its nuclear weapons ambitions. Trump acknowledged ongoing negotiations and stressed that military action remains a possibility if diplomacy fails, underscoring that Iran cannot be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has firmly stated that Iran will continue its uranium enrichment and peaceful nuclear research despite international pressure, rejecting demands to halt its program but insisting Iran will not build nuclear weapons, following the Supreme Leader's directive. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) recently censured Iran for non-compliance with nuclear regulations, marking the first such resolution in 20 years, which Iran condemned as political. American Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee highlighted that Israel is unlikely to act against Iran without Washington's approval, noting that President Trump's statements and actions clearly communicate the U.S. position against Iran obtaining nuclear weapons. The sixth round of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks is scheduled to begin soon in Oman amid heightened tensions and ongoing stockpiling and enrichment activities by Iran.
