The United States and Iran are set to hold indirect talks in Geneva on Thursday, aiming to avert fresh conflict amidst escalating military tensions. This comes after President Donald Trump, in his recent State of the Union address, reiterated accusations against Iran for pursuing 'sinister nuclear ambitions' and developing missiles capable of threatening Europe and U.S. bases overseas. Trump emphasized that military options remain viable if a deal is not reached, coinciding with a significant U.S. military buildup in the region, which includes the deployment of two aircraft carriers. Iran's Foreign Ministry has dismissed these claims as 'big lies,' asserting that their missile range is significantly less than what the U.S. suggests, with estimates of 2,000 to 3,000 kilometers, far short of reaching the continental U.S.
