The United States and Iran have entered a fourth round of negotiations in Oman over Tehran's nuclear program, but progress appears stalled.
Iranian officials accuse the US of not being sincere in its approach, suggesting the talks are a 'trap' to escalate tensions rather than resolve issues. Iran's foreign minister insists the country will not relinquish its nuclear rights, highlighting deep mistrust between the two sides. Iranian diplomats also criticize the US for holding contradictory positions, which they say is a major obstacle to reaching an agreement.
Despite hopes for a breakthrough, the talks remain fraught with skepticism and unresolved disputes.
