The nuclear talks between the US and Iran in Muscat were described as positive by the leaders of both countries, but tensions still persist. It is not yet clear whether the new US sanctions on Iran are directly or indirectly related to the talks. However, US President Donald Trump said that the indirect talks with Iran in Oman had been very good. President Trump also said that the second round of indirect talks between the US and Iran would begin next week. It should be remembered that in June last year, the US and Israel targeted Iranian nuclear facilities, nuclear scientists and commanders of the Revolutionary Guards in a joint operation.
