US-Iran nuclear negotiations, mediated by Oman and other parties, center on Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium, with Washington pressing for verifiable removal or downblending as a core condition for sanctions relief. Strikes on Iranian facilities in mid-2025 damaged infrastructure and complicated access, while the JCPOA's expiration and snapback sanctions added leverage and urgency. Iran has signaled openness to temporary freezes, zero stockpiling, or IAEA-supervised reductions in some rounds but maintains red lines against permanent enrichment bans or full foreign handover of material. Technical talks and working groups established after the June 2026 Islamabad Memorandum continue to address verification, sanctions termination, and stockpile issues, though core gaps persist. Trader odds reflect uncertainty over whether a binding commitment will form before year-end deadlines amid competing priorities on both sides.
