This significant drop followed a period of market uncertainty for the automaker.

The Omani foreign ministry indicated that consultations with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US envoy Steve Witkoff focused on creating conditions for future negotiations. However, a key point of contention remains the agenda for these high-stakes discussions; Washington aims to include Iran&#39;s ballistic missile program and regional activities, while Tehran insists talks should be limited to nuclear issues. Iranian state television reported that Iran and the United States had begun their negotiations over Tehran&#39;s nuclear program.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Russia_Engaged_in_Dual-Track_Diplomacy_on_Ukraine_and_Nuclear_Arms\"><\/span>Russia Engaged in Dual-Track Diplomacy on Ukraine and Nuclear Arms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Kremlin described the latest round of <strong>Ukraine peace talks in Abu Dhabi<\/strong> as &quot;complex&quot; but &quot;constructive&quot;. These trilateral talks, involving Russia, Ukraine, and the United States, aim to advance discussions on ending the four-year Russia-Ukraine conflict. Concurrently, Russia and the US have reached an understanding to act responsibly regarding the expiration of the <strong>New START nuclear deal<\/strong>, with both sides recognizing the urgent need to initiate new nuclear arms talks soon. The New START treaty, which capped deployed strategic nuclear warheads, expired on Thursday, leaving the two largest nuclear powers without a specific mutual agreement on their arsenals.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"US_Arms_Control_Official_Delivers_Disarmament_Statement_in_Geneva\"><\/span>US Arms Control Official Delivers Disarmament Statement in Geneva<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In Geneva, a <strong>US arms control official delivered a disarmament statement<\/strong>, underscoring the ongoing international focus on non-proliferation. This statement comes as the New START treaty, the last major nuclear arms pact between the US and Russia, expired, a development the UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres called a &quot;grave moment&quot; for international peace and security. The US Mission to International Organizations in Geneva is dedicated to advancing national security through multilateral diplomacy, seeking to negotiate and implement effective arms control agreements.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kremlin_Briefed_on_Attempted_Assassination_of_Military_Intelligence_Official\"><\/span>Kremlin Briefed on Attempted Assassination of Military Intelligence Official<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In Russia, the Kremlin confirmed that President Vladimir Putin is being briefed on an <strong>attempted assassination of a military intelligence official<\/strong>.
