00:00Negotiators from Iran and the United States are holding a third round of indirect nuclear talks in Geneva.
00:07The discussions come amid heightened tensions in the Middle East following a major U.S. military build-up in the
00:14region in recent months.
00:16Several countries, including Germany, South Korea and India, have advised their citizens to leave Iran amid fears of possible U
00:24.S. strikes.
00:25U.S. President Donald Trump has previously warned of military action if a new nuclear deal is not reached.
00:33Washington has also imposed fresh sanctions targeting Iran's oil exports and alleged weapons networks.
00:42Iran, for its part, has warned it would respond to any attack with force.
00:47The talks are seen as a last effort to prevent a wider conflict, though prospects for a breakthrough remain uncertain.
00:57As with the previous two rounds of talks, the negotiations are mediated by Oman.
01:02Iran's delegation will be led by Foreign Minister Abbas Arakji, while the U.S. will be represented by Special Envoy

01:18limited concessions on its nuclear program that Tehran said is for civilian use only.
01:24Last year, the United States carried out strikes on Iranian nuclear sites during fighting between Israel and Iran.
