"I'm in Muscat, Oman, the site of the third round of talks between Iran and the United States over Tehran's rapidly advancing nuclear program. Now what's different this time is this is going to see experts be involved and these experts will drill down to the details necessary to potentially get any deal across the finish line. That includes how much uranium Iran could potentially hold, to what level, if any, it would be allowed to enrich that uranium, and other details about its program. Now at risk is the program itself, which experts warn already has enough enriched uranium to potentially allow Iran to build several nuclear weapons, should it choose to do so. And the Americans under President Donald Trump have warned that they are willing to militarily strike Iran should a deal not be reached. Now all this is coming as tensions in the Middle East are very high over the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip, and whether or not this deal comes across the finish line could be the difference to see whether or not those tensions further escalate and put the region at risk."

STORYLINE:
Negotiations between Iran and the United States over Tehran's rapidly advancing nuclear program will return Saturday to the secluded sultanate of Oman, where experts on both sides will start hammering out the technical details of any possible deal.
The talks seek to limit Iran's nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of some of the crushing economic sanctions the U.S. has imposed on the Islamic Republic closing in on half a century of enmity.
U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to unleash airstrikes targeting Iran’s program if a deal isn’t reached.
Iranian officials increasingly warn that they could pursue a nuclear weapon with their stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels.
Neither Iran nor the U.S. has offered any explanation on why the talks will return to Muscat, the Omani capital nestled in the Hajar Mountains. Oman has been a mediator between the countries.
Last weekend's talks in Rome offered a more-equal flight distance between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and U.S. Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff, who are leading the negotiations.
Iranians on Friday in Tehran remained hopeful the talks could be successful, as the Iranian rial has rebounded from historic lows.
The Muscat talks come as Iran appears to have lined up Chinese and Russian support. Araghchi traveled to Moscow last week and this week visited Beijing.
On Thursday, Chinese, Iran and Russian representatives met the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations' nuclear watchdog that likely will verify compliance with any accord like it did with Tehran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.
That deal included China and Russia, as well as France, Germany and the United Kingdom.
However, Iran has greatly restricted the IAEA's inspections — leading to fears internationally that centrifuges and other nuclear material could be diverted.
Two Iranian deputy foreign ministers, Majid Takht-e Ravanchi and Kazem Gharibabadi, are expected to lead Tehran’s expert team, the semiofficial Tasnim news agency reported.
Iran has insisted that keeping its enrichment is key.
