US expects Iran talks but Trump presses sanctions

The United States anticipates new nuclear talks with Iran soon, although President Trump emphasized enforcing sanctions and called for a boycott of all Iranian oil and petrochemicals. A scheduled fourth round of talks in Rome has been delayed due to “logistical reasons,” while the State Department clarified that no date or venue had been set. Trump’s administration remains committed to a “maximum pressure” strategy against Iran, which seeks relief from sanctions while maintaining its nuclear ambitions, despite skepticism from the US and its allies about Iran’s intentions.
