US-Iran War: The ongoing tension between Iran and the US over the nuclear program is once again in the international headlines. The US is constantly pressuring Iran over its nuclear program, while now a new diplomatic initiative has come from Iran. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has made a big statement saying that he will hold indirect talks with US Ambassador to Oman Steve Witkoff.Possible indirect talks in OmanAbbas Araghchi told Iranian state television in an interview during his visit to Algeria that this dialogue will be indirect and Oman will play the role of mediator in it. He clarified that Iran has no plans to hold direct talks at the moment. He said, "Our main objective is to restore people's rights and remove sanctions. If the other side shows will, this goal can be achieved."Trump's desire for direct talksMeanwhile, former US President Donald Trump has shown a different stance and said that there will be direct talks between the US and Iran. According to Trump, this dialogue is necessary and if it is not successful, it can have serious consequences. He warned, "I hate to say this, but if the talks fail, Iran will be in great danger."Background of tensionIt is worth noting that both the US and Israel have threatened Iran with military attack over its nuclear program. Iran has also said in clear words that if it is attacked, it will respond with full force. This rhetoric shows how delicate the situation in the region is and even the slightest mistake can lead to a serious crisis.What can come out of the talks?However, the initiative of talks is a positive sign, especially at a time when the threat of military tension is constantly looming. Oman has previously played the role of mediator between the two countries and has experience in such crisis management. If this dialogue is successful, it will not only lead to stability in West Asia, but will also provide relief regarding energy security and peace at the global level.
