Iran and the United States are holding talks on Thursday in Oman, with Tehran pushing to focus squarely on its nuclear program, while Washington’s demands go beyond that. The United States has said talks must cover Tehran’s missile program and its support for militant groups in the region. AFP takes stock of the thorny issues on the table:The main dispute between Iran and the US concerns uranium enrichment. The United States withdrew from that deal in 2018 and Iran subsequently abandoned its commitments under the agreement in retaliation. “We have no plan to militarize our nuclear program,” and “we can therefore dilute the material from 60 to, say, 20%,” he added.
