Trump has stated that sometimes creating fear is necessary to facilitate political negotiations, particularly regarding Iran's nuclear program. As the United States sends additional soldiers to the region, these comments come in the context of renewed efforts to engage Iran in nuclear talks, with Oman acting as a mediator. However, there remains substantial disagreement between the involved parties concerning the agenda for these negotiations.

This situation unfolds against a backdrop of significant unrest among the Iranian diaspora, with over a million Iranians outside Iran demanding a revolution. While the demonstration in support of change garnered global attention, the situation inside Iran remains tense and largely quiet, particularly after the brutal suppression of protests by the Khamenei regime's security forces earlier in the year that resulted in thousands of deaths.

The implications of Trump's remarks and the U.S. military presence in the region could heighten tensions not only with Iran but also among other nations observing the situation. Oman’s mediating role will be crucial in seeking consensus as the parties navigate their differences, potentially impacting the stability of the region and the future of diplomatic relationships surrounding Iran's nuclear ambitions.
