First Iran–US Nuclear Talks Since June War Open in Oman

Negotiations between Iran and the United States on the nuclear issue have begun in the Omani capital of Muscat, Iranian news agency Fars reported. The Iranian delegation is led by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, while the American side is headed by US President's Special Envoy Steve Witkoff. The talks were originally expected to take place in Istanbul with the participation of observers from Middle Eastern countries. Later, Tehran proposed moving the negotiations to Oman and limiting them to a strictly bilateral format.
