REUTERS/Ibraheem Abu Mustafa Next round of Iran-US nuclear talks likely to be in Oman at weekend DUBAI - A fourth round of nuclear talks between Iran and the United States is likely to take place over the weekend in the capital of Oman, with Iranian state media pointing to May 11 as a probable date. Iran's Nournews outlet was the first to report the resumption of Iran-U.S. nuclear talks for Sunday, citing an unnamed official. Cautioning that the timing was not yet finalised, an Iranian source close to the negotiating team told Reuters: "The talks will take place over two days in Muscat, either on Saturday and Sunday or Sunday and Monday." Initially scheduled for May 3 in Rome, the fourth round of negotiations was postponed with mediator Oman citing "logistical reasons". Top U.S. negotiator Steve Witkoff also said Washington was trying to hold the next round of talks this weekend, according to the news site Axios, a day after Iran's foreign ministry reiterated Tehran's commitment to diplomacy with Washington. Separately, President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday discussed the progress in talks between Iran and the United States with Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, the Kremlin said. Putin said Russia was ready to facilitate dialogue between Iran and the U.S. to reach a fair agreement. U.S. President Donald Trump, who withdrew the U.S. from a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers, has threatened to bomb Iran if no agreement is reached with his administration to resolve the long-standing dispute. Western countries say Iran's nuclear programme is geared towards producing weapons, whereas Iran insists it is purely for civilian purposes.

US, Iran Hold 4th Talks as Trump Demands Nuclear Shutdown
Bloomberg and other sources have cited Iran's Nournews to report the resumption of Iran-US nuclear talks set for Sunday (May 11), according to an unnamed officials. This will be the fourth round of talks, scheduled to take place in Oman's capital Muscat, amid fears that nuclear dialogue between Iran and the Trump administration was stalling. The timing and location are interesting, given that Oman is in southern Arabia, and not too far away there is a war on in the Red Sea region, and Israel has ramped up airstrikes on Yemen, targeting Houthi leadership and infrastructure. Israel on Tuesday targeted the country's civilian aviation hub – Sanaa international airport. This came after the Iran-backed Houthis launched a ballistic missile on Israel's Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv. Both Israel and the US have put Iran on notice related to the Houthis, alleging that Houthi military decisions are ultimately made in Tehran, something which Iranian leaders have rejected. President Trump meanwhile issued some fresh and provocative statements during a 'Meet the Press' interview which aired Sunday. He for the first time spelled out that negotiations with Iran are aimed at achieving 'full dismantlement' of Tehran's nuclear program. 'Total dismantlement. Yes, that is all I would accept,' Trump told show host Kristen Welker. Ever since Trump during his first administration pulled out of the JCPOA nuclear deal in April 2018, Iran has steadily increased its enriched uranium stockpiles. The Islamic Republic has, however, consistently stressed it only seeks peaceful nuclear energy development for the needs of its large domestic populace.
