Talks with US Set to Continue After 'Good Beginning', Iran's Foreign Minister Says
Senior US and Iranian officials meet to seek a framework for nuclear negotiations amid fears of military conflict and over 6,800 deaths in recent Iranian protests, rights groups say.
- Today, Iranian and American officials begin face-to-face talks in Oman, marking the first direct meetings since last June's war with the US led by special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iran by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
- Following a US military build-up, including thousands of troops and an `armada`, and Iran's violent crackdown last month that left at least 6,883 dead and more than 50,000 arrested, regional mediators pushed for talks.
- US officials say talks must cover nuclear limits and also missiles, proxies and human-rights concerns, while Iran insists on its right to enrich uranium domestically and rejects transferring its 400kg highly enriched uranium stockpile to a third country.
- If talks succeed, negotiators hope for a negotiation framework and a diplomatic off‑ramp, as Iranian leadership faces a last chance to avert US military action amid warnings from regional states about wider conflict and threats to American military assets in the Middle East.
- At Iran's request the meeting was moved to Oman and narrowed to bilateral officials, with Jared Kushner joining special envoy Steve Witkoff amid talks open to a regional consortium for uranium enrichment.
