US, Iran Trade Accusations Over Missiles and Deaths

US President Donald Trump accused Iran of developing missiles capable of striking American soil, while Iran's foreign ministry dismissed the claims as 'big lies'. Trump also alleged Iranian authorities killed 32,000 people during protests, contrasting with Iran's official death toll of over 3,000. The US-based HRANA group recorded more than 7,000 deaths. Iran denies pursuing nuclear weapons but insists on peaceful nuclear rights. Trump's claims follow two rounds of Oman-mediated nuclear talks, with a third round scheduled. Washington demands zero uranium enrichment and missile restrictions, which Iran rejects. The dispute escalates regional tensions amid ongoing negotiations.
