Report: Witkoff offered Iran draft deal that stops short of dismantling nuclear program

The nuclear talks between Iran and the US were concluded after a few hours. At first, nothing was known about the possible results of the consultations in the Sultanate of Oman. However, the dialogue is to be continued next week.

The exchanges between the two countries, which took place on Saturday, were indirect through an Omani mediation, in accordance with what Teheran wanted.
