Iran Signals Flexibility on Uranium Limits if U.S. Lifts Financial Sanctions
Iran has floated verifiable curbs — including dilution of its highest-assay uranium — in return for a rollback of U.S. financial sanctions, while insisting it will retain a limited enrichment capability. Diplomats will reconvene in Geneva after Oman-mediated contacts, with negotiation design, verification and regional security signalling shaping prospects for any deal.

Iran Nuclear Program: US Talks Stall After Strikes on Facilities
Diplomatic talks between Washington and Tehran have stalled after strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, elevating the risk of further military escalation and complicating verification. The 2015 limits-based agreement remains the reference, but weakened inspection access and hardened political positions make a swift return to that framework unlikely.

Israel quietly pushes Washington toward toppling Iran's leadership
Senior Israeli officials are privately urging the United States to consider actions that could unseat Iran’s ruling apparatus, seeing President Trump as the partner most likely to act. Their push comes as U.S. forces and exercises in the region increase deterrent signaling, Gulf partners limit basing options, and analysts warn that any campaign risks widening regional retaliation and economic disruption.

Trump announces 10-day window for Iran talks, warns of military option
President Trump set a ten-day deadline for negotiators to show whether diplomacy with Iran can produce an agreement, while warning that military measures remain available; the administration has paired visible carrier movements and CENTCOM aviation drills with shuttle diplomacy as some members of Congress prepare a War Powers Act challenge. Regional incidents at sea and limits from Gulf partners on basing and overflight complicate both operational planning and the prospect of a durable deal.

Iran Signals Conditional Willingness to Resume Nuclear Talks as Regional Tensions Rise
Iran signalled conditional openness to nuclear negotiations with the United States but insisted talks be equal, non-coercive and exclude its defensive forces and missile programmes. The move occurs amid a heightened security posture — including a US carrier strike group deployment — a recent deadly domestic security operation and sharp economic strain, all of which complicate the narrow diplomatic window and raise risks of inadvertent escalation.

Iran fortifies missile and nuclear sites as US boosts forces in region
Iran has accelerated repairs and hardened several missile and nuclear-related facilities while holding naval drills and strengthening wartime command structures. Satellite imagery shows fresh concrete and earthworks at Natanz-area tunnels and Isfahan portals; U.S. forces—including two carrier strike groups—have increased presence while indirect U.S.–Iran talks and IAEA technical consultations continue without binding agreements.

Trump Issues Stark Warning to Iran’s Leader as Muscat Nuclear Talks Loom
President Trump publicly warned Iran’s supreme leader as delegations prepare for direct talks in Muscat, while the U.S. has massed a carrier strike group and flown regional exercises after recent maritime encounters that have increased the chance of miscalculation.

IAEA warns military build-up threatens Iran inspection talks
The IAEA says rising military deployments and recent defensive work at Iranian nuclear sites are shrinking the window for agreeing inspection arrangements. Technical proposals have been discussed with Iran’s foreign minister, but on-the-ground hardening and intensified U.S. naval signalling make swift, comprehensive access unlikely.
