Trump's objectives in Iran are unclear ahead of talks, sources say

Top Trump officials lack clear objectives for any strike on Iran as U.S. and Iranian teams prepare to meet Friday in Oman, officials say. Trump has warned Iran’s leader and claims June strikes obliterated three nuclear sites, while demanding curbs on Tehran’s nuclear work or face force. Iran insists talks cover only its nuclear program. As the Abraham Lincoln carrier moves closer, U.S. forces shot down an approaching Iranian drone and responded to a harassment incident in the Strait of Hormuz. Allies remain wary, and the administration’s plan for what follows any operation is still unsettled.
