Day of Nuclear Exhibit as Oman Format Finalizes

Foreign Minister Araghchi confirmed the upcoming Oman talks will be indirect and focused solely on nuclear issues and sanctions relief, describing them as "a test of US seriousness." The narrative consolidated as President Pezeshkian toured Iran's nuclear achievements exhibition, emphasizing Iran seeks dialogue "with dignity" but won't compromise on its nuclear program.

By midday, Pezeshkian made the significant revelation that the Supreme Leader approves of American investment in Iran, while maintaining the nuclear talks would follow Khamenei's guidance. This economic opening represents a potential shift in Iran's position.

The diplomatic standoff continued as US State Department insisted the meetings are "not negotiations" but simply "a meeting," while simultaneously imposing new sanctions on five entities and one individual supporting Iran's nuclear program. Trump closed the day with another threat, stating Israel "would play an important role" in any military action against Iran.
