Iran-U.S. nuclear deal talks ‘postponed’ as Khamenei stuns Trump with ‘new demand’

The fourth round of U.S.–Iran nuclear talks, originally scheduled for May 3 in Rome, has been postponed, with Omani officials citing “logistical reasons” for the delay. The postponement comes amid heightened tensions, as Tehran issued a sharp demand for the U.S. to ease sanctions and warned that the timing of future negotiations will “depend on the U.S. approach”. Iranian officials accused Washington of “contradictory behaviour” and undermining diplomacy with new sanctions, while reaffirming their commitment to “result-oriented” talks if the U.S. shows flexibility.
