US and Iran held indirect talks in Oman, US warns against higher enrichment.

US officials warned Iran during indirect talks in Oman last month that there will be a severe response if Tehran reaches the 90 percent uranium enrichment levels required for use in a nuclear weapon. The discussions were focused on deterrence and were facilitated by Omani officials shuttling between the two teams. The US remains focused on constraining Iran’s destabilizing behavior through pressure, close coordination with allies, and de-escalation in the region.
