US President Donald Trump described the talks on Iran as "very good" and noted that new ones are planned for early next week.
However, he continued to press on, warning that if Iran did not reach an agreement on its nuclear program, "the consequences would be very serious."
Iran and the United States (US) held indirect talks in Oman yesterday. The US brought its top military commander in the Middle East to the negotiating table for the first time.
The presence of US Navy Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of US Central Command, who appeared in ceremonial uniform at the talks in Muscat, the capital of Oman, served as a reminder that the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, along with other warships, is now off the coast of Iran in the Persian Gulf.
Trump has repeatedly threatened to use force to force Iran to reach a nuclear deal, after previously sending an aircraft carrier to the region over Tehran's brutal crackdown on protesters, which left thousands dead and tens of thousands detained.
Countries in the Persian Gulf fear that a possible attack could spark a regional war that would draw them into the conflict.
That threat is real - US forces shot down an Iranian drone near the USS Lincoln, and just days before yesterday's talks, Iran attempted to stop a US-flagged ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
