Iranian nuclear enrichment ‘red line' for US ahead of new talks, envoy Steve Witkoff says
The United States and Iran will hold a new round of nuclear talks on Sunday in Oman ahead of a visit to the region by Donald Trump, whose key negotiator has staked out an increasingly hard line on the issue of uranium enrichment. Advertisement Trump, who will visit three other Gulf Arab monarchies next week, has voiced hope for reaching a deal with Tehran to avert an Israeli military strike on Iran's nuclear programme that could ignite a wider war. Three previous rounds of talks in Oman and Rome ended with notes of optimism, with the two sides saying the atmosphere was friendly despite the countries' four decades of enmity. But they are not believed to have gone into technical detail, and basic questions remain. Steve Witkoff, Trump's friend who has served as his globe-trotting negotiator on issues including on Iran, had initially suggested flexibility on Tehran maintaining low-level enrichment of uranium for civilian purposes. Advertisement But in an interview published on Friday, Witkoff gave his clearest message yet that the Trump administration would oppose any enrichment.
