Iran and the US held indirect talks mediated by Oman focusing solely on nuclear issues, with both sides agreeing to continue despite tensions and US naval buildup, Iran's foreign minister said.
- On February 6, 2026, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi described the indirect talks in Muscat, Oman, with the United States as a good start and an opening for future negotiations.

- Officials met indirectly in Muscat via shuttle sessions at Omani FM Badr al-Busaidi's residence, with Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and Admiral Brad Cooper attending on February 6, 2026.
- The talks ended with a pledge to keep diplomacy alive, as Iran said the indirect Oman negotiations will reconvene after delegations return for consultations.
- Iran insists the agenda remain nuclear-only, refusing missile discussions, while Washington seeks to expand talks to include Iran's ballistic missile programme and support for armed groups, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday.
