Oman’s foreign minister says Iran and US made ‘significant progress’ in talks

GENEVA: Iran and the United States made “significant progress” in talks in Switzerland on Thursday, Oman’s foreign minister said, at the end of the latest round of negotiations to avert a war between the longtime foes. The Oman-mediated discussions follow repeated threats from Donald Trump to strike Iran, with the US president last Thursday giving Tehran 15 days to reach a deal. While Iran has insisted the discussions focus solely on its nuclear program, the US wants Tehran’s missile program and its support for militant groups in the region curtailed.
