Iran and the US are set to hold talks in Oman, with Iran’s hard-line negotiator, Araghchi, leading the country’s delegation. The US will be led by Trump’s Middle East special envoy, Steve Witkoff.
The US is pushing for direct talks and demands that Iran fully dismantle its nuclear programme, with technical experts to follow up in additional talks. Iran has stated that it will never agree to dismantle its nuclear programme, citing the 2015 deal as a basis for negotiations.
