Oman’s foreign minister says there will be a sixth round of negotiations between Iran and the United States over Tehran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program this weekend

Trump has been seeking a new nuclear deal to place limits on Iran's disputed uranium enrichment activities and has threatened the Islamic Republic with bombing if no agreement is reached. Iran has long said it has no plans to develop nuclear weapons and is only interested in atomic power generation and other peaceful projects.

Iran slammed the International Atomic Energy Agency’s vote as politically motivated. It comes as U.S.-Iran nuclear talks increasingly appear stalled.

The new nuclear steps will cast a fresh shadow over struggling U.S.-Iran nuclear talks.

Board of Governors has declared that Iran has not complied with its nuclear obligations in a vote following a resolution, backed by the United States and the E3 (Britain, France, and Germany). The resolution was passed with 19 votes in favor.
