Iran says talks with US in Oman were 'good start', will continue

Indirect talks in Oman marked a positive start with both Iran and the US agreeing to continue despite disagreements on missile programs and enrichment limits.

  • 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.
  • Following weeks of escalation and strikes, rising tensions worsened with a US naval build-up after nationwide protests last month in Iran.
  • 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.
