Iran Warns Of Strikes On US Bases Amid Ongoing Nuclear Talks

(MENAFN- Khaama Press) Iran warned it would target US bases in the Middle East if attacked, while nuclear talks with Washington continue amid regional tensions.
The United States and Iran agreed to continue negotiations after talks in Oman, though both sides exchanged strong warnings over regional security and military presence.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran would target US bases in the region if attacked, stressing neighboring countries themselves would not be targeted.

Meanwhile, a US delegation visited the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, emphasizing Washington's strategy of“peace through strength” following increased military deployments.

US President Donald Trump said new negotiations could take place soon while demanding Iran curb uranium enrichment, ballistic missile development, and regional proxy support.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is also expected to discuss Iran with US leaders in Washington, urging broader restrictions beyond Iran's nuclear program.

Tensions between Washington and Tehran have remained high since the collapse of the 2015 nuclear deal, with sanctions, military incidents, and proxy conflicts fueling instability.

Recent regional escalations and naval deployments have heightened fears of confrontation, even as diplomatic efforts seek to prevent wider conflict across the Middle East.

Despite renewed diplomatic contacts, deep disagreements remain, leaving the future of negotiations uncertain amid continued military and political pressure on all sides.
