The situation between Washington and Tehran has reached a critical point. Although Oman's foreign minister, serving as a mediator, reported a historic breakthrough and Iran's agreement to the abandonment of fissile material stockpiling, Donald Trump expressed deep dissatisfaction with the course of the talks. The US President suggests the military option remains on the table, while Israel prepares strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities with American support.

US-Iran relations have entered a phase of extreme uncertainty following a series of contradictory messages from Washington and international mediators. Oman played a key role in the diplomatic process, with its head of diplomacy announcing that Tehran agreed to eliminate stockpiles of highly enriched uranium and abandon their further accumulation, although Iran still demands the right to enrich raw material at a low level for civilian purposes. According to mediators, peace has never been closer, but the White House does not share this enthusiasm. President Donald Trump publicly stated he was "not happy" with the talks, describing Iran's stance as dangerous and deceptive. The rising tension is confirmed by reports of personnel withdrawal from the US embassy in Israel and operational preparations for a potential strike. Analyses indicate the Trump administration may be seeking regime change in Tehran, considering current concessions insufficient. Italian and French media report strong pressure from Vice President JD Vance, who is said to advocate for a tougher course towards Iran. Military experts have already identified 12 strategic nuclear targets in Iran that could become the focus of an attack. Since 1979, when the Islamic Revolution erupted in Iran and the US embassy was seized, these nations have remained in a state of permanent hostility, interrupted only by brief periods of diplomatic thaw.The situation is changing dynamically, as on one hand we hear of Iran's readiness for full cooperation under the supervision of IAEA, and on the other hand, of the inevitability of armed conflict. Trump, despite his rhetoric of strength, has nevertheless indicated he still prefers a peaceful solution, but time for negotiations is running out drastically.
