Iran says 'constructive' talks with US have reached 'broad agreement'

Iran and the US have held constructive, Oman-mediated talks, reaching a broad agreement on guiding principles for a potential deal. These negotiations are a last-ditch effort to avert military action amid soaring tensions. Concurrently, the US deployed a second aircraft carrier to the Middle East following a meeting between President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. In response to US threats, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei stated that the US would not succeed in destroying the Islamic Republic, while the IRGC conducted military exercises in the Strait of Hormuz.
