After initially rejecting discussions with the U.S., Iran begrudgingly consented, saying that it maintains the right to dismiss the final proposal.

Before the upcoming session of U.S.-Iran talks, which commenced 3 days ago, Washington has deployed a second aircraft carrier to that region. The USS Carl Vinson & its strike group have navigated into the Arabian Sea, moving toward the Persian Gulf. Reports have indicated that operations began late on Monday night as suspected U.S. airstrikes targeted areas in Yemen controlled by Iran-aligned Houthi militants.

While same missions have been undertaken by another U.S. aircraft carrier - the USS Harry S. Truman, the addition of a second strike group is seen as an effort by Trump to escalate military actions _ clarify his intentions to Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader.
