U.S., Iran Engage in Nuclear Talks in Oman

The United States and Iran are set to resume negotiations in Oman aimed at curbing Iran’s nuclear program in exchange for relief from U.S. economic sanctions, with technical talks expected to address critical details of any potential agreement. The discussions will be led by experts from both nations, with the U.S. delegation including State Department officials and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff. Oman, known for its role as a mediator, provides a discreet setting for these sensitive talks, which follow previous meetings in Rome that faced significant media attention. Concurrently, the International Atomic Energy Agency plans to send a team to Iran, signaling broader international involvement in monitoring Iran’s nuclear activities. U.S. officials emphasize the importance of these technical meetings for resolving longstanding concerns and fostering diplomatic understanding. This renewed diplomatic engagement reflects coordinated international efforts to address proliferation risks and stabilize regional tensions.
