White House Confirms US-Iran Talks in Oman on Friday

The United States will still hold nuclear talks with Iran on Friday in Oman, a White House official told AFP, after a report that the negotiations were collapsing due to disagreements over the location and format.

The US confirmation on Wednesday came after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also said the meeting was due to be held in Muscat. Officials had said earlier this week that it would likely happen in Turkey.

“Nuclear talks with the United States are scheduled to be held in Muscat on about 10 am Friday,” said Araghchi in an X post on Wednesday, thanking Oman “for making all the necessary arrangements”. (AFP)
