BRUSSELS — Negotiations between Iran and the United States over Tehran's rapidly advancing nuclear programme are set to resume on Saturday in the Omani capital Muscat, where technical experts from both sides will attempt to iron out the details of a potential agreement.The discussions aim to curb Iran's nuclear activities in exchange for lifting economic sanctions the US has imposed on the country during nearly half a century of hostilities.US President Donald Trump has repeatedly warned he may order airstrikes against Iran's nuclear facilities if a deal is not achieved, while Iranian officials increasingly hint they could pursue nuclear weapons capability with their growing stockpile of near-weapons-grade uranium.Neither Tehran nor Washington has explained the return to...

Trump sparks row with deep-sea mining order
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump has signed a controversial executive order aimed at stepping up deep-sea mining within US and in international waters.Thursday's order is the latest issued by the US president to try to increase America's access to minerals used by the aerospace, green technology and healthcare sectors.The deep sea contains billions of tonnes of potato-shaped rocks, called polymetallic nodules, which are rich in critical minerals like cobalt and rare earths.Many other countries and environmental groups oppose deep-sea mining in international waters without further research.The latest US executive order was issued to "establish the United States as a global leader in responsible seabed mineral exploration", it reads.The move appears to bypass a long-running...
