US Iran Nuclear Talks Set for Oman Friday
The United States and Iran will resume diplomatic engagement with negotiations scheduled in Oman, signalling a renewed effort to manage tensions linked to Tehran’s nuclear programme.
US Iran Nuclear Talks Oman
Officials confirmed talks will take place in Muscat after the venue was changed from Turkey following objections over location. The meeting is expected to begin Friday and marks the first structured contact in recent months aimed at stabilising relations and preventing escalation.
Oman has historically acted as a neutral intermediary between Washington and Tehran and has hosted multiple rounds of earlier backchannel negotiations.
Iran Nuclear Programme Agenda
Iran has indicated the discussions should remain limited to nuclear issues and sanctions relief. The United States is seeking broader commitments including enrichment limits and regional security assurances.
Despite disagreements over scope, both sides agreed to proceed with dialogue to keep diplomatic channels open.
Middle East Tensions Background
The talks come amid continued regional tensions and warnings from Washington that Iran must not obtain nuclear weapons. Expectations of a major breakthrough remain limited, but the negotiations are viewed as an attempt to avoid further confrontation.
