Donald Trump announced that the US and Iran will hold direct nuclear talks on April 12 in Oman. Iran’s foreign minister described the meeting as “indirect” but noted it is “as much an opportunity as it is a test.” Trump warned it would be a “very bad day for Iran” if talks fail. The announcement follows Trump’s White House meeting with Israeli PM Netanyahu, who supports diplomatic efforts but insists Iran must never acquire nuclear weapons. The 2015 nuclear deal collapsed after Trump withdrew the US in 2016. Tensions have since risen, with Iran enriching uranium beyond agreed limits. (PC: Reuters)
