A new round of indirect nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran will begin in Vienna on November 29, the first under Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi. The round of negotiations will begin in an atmosphere of mistrust between the two parties.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon said: An Iranian helicopter’s approach to a U.S. warship in the Gulf of Oman is dangerous; because it may lead to miscalculations, according to the Mena Observatory.

“The U.S. Department said an Iranian Navy helicopter approached and circled a U.S. Navy warship in the Gulf of Oman three times, an incident that ended without impact on U.S. operations”.
