Fresh nuclear talks between the United States and Iran are scheduled this weekend, with Israel and the U.S. viewing Iran as a rogue regime pursuing weapons of mass destruction. Iran faces a choice between giving up its nuclear aspirations or facing increased risk of attack. President Trump announced the negotiations would be direct, but Iran’s Foreign Minister clarified they would be indirect for now. The U.S. has taken a tough stance, issuing fresh sanctions and threatening military action if talks fail. Trump has resumed efforts to end Iran’s nuclear program, withdrawing from the 2015 nuclear deal. Talks come as Iran accelerates uranium enrichment and faces weakened nonstate allies in conflicts in the Middle East. There are concerns that failure in talks could lead to war. Both sides will use the indirect talks to assess each other’s intentions, with Israel and Republican hawks in Washington believing the time for military action against Iran may be near due to weakened proxies and damaged air defenses.
