US-Iran Nuclear Talks Reach Critical Juncture, Says UN Watchdog

Negotiations between the United States and Iran over Iran's nuclear program have entered a highly critical phase, according to the head of the United Nations' nuclear watchdog. The talks, which recently resumed and are set to continue in Rome, come amid concerns about Tehran's rapidly advancing nuclear capabilities. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) chief emphasized the importance of the current stage, suggesting that the outcome could significantly impact regional and global security. Both sides are under pressure to reach an agreement that addresses proliferation risks while easing tensions. The international community is closely monitoring the developments, given the potential consequences for Middle East stability.
