Iran and the United States are currently in Geneva for the second round of indirect nuclear negotiations. Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, made scathing comments that diverted focus from the diplomatic efforts as both sides attempt to ease tensions over Tehran’s nuclear program.
US President Donald Trump stated prior to the meeting that he thought Iran was interested in coming to a deal. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader of Iran, has changed the tone of his recent remarks nevertheless.
Khamenei attacked US President Donald Trump, blasted US military might, and issued a warning about Washington’s expanding military presence close to Iran in three tweets on X in a row.
Iran starts practicing in the Strait of Hormuz
Iran apparently conducted fire drills during the start of the talks, firing live missiles towards the Strait of Hormuz. According to Reuters, Iran had previously declared a naval drill in waterways that are vital international trade channels. 20% of the world’s oil travels there.
Due to security precautions for the safety of commerce, portions of the Strait of Hormuz will also be closed for a few hours on Tuesday. However, the Revolutionary Guards practice military exercises in the canal.
Trump threatens to use force
Negotiators get ready for the most recent round of talks in Geneva on Tuesday. Trump threatens to impose sanctions on Iran if it does not reach an agreement with the United States.
While aboard Air force One, the US president has said he will participate in the Iran-US negotiations indirectly. He told reporters, “I’ll be involved in those talks indirectly. And they will be very important.”
