US and Iran argue about what to argue about... Dubai keeps climbing and fuel oil in a pickle!

To talk or not to talk? That is the question for the US and Iran. Apparently, the Oman talks tomorrow are going ahead, with Iran confirming they are set, despite the reports yesterday the US would refuse to move from Istanbul to Oman. Don’t believe what the US is saying – they’ve proven themselves incapable of clear communication. They seem unable to agree on the agenda, though, as Iran wants only to talk about the nuclear program and the US wants to talk about everything from ballistic missiles to terrorism.
