US EditionUS, Iran Hold Nuclear Talks in Oman
The talks focus on Iran's nuclear program amid U.S. demands to include missile and proxy issues, with Iran proposing to hand over 400 kilograms of highly enriched uranium, officials said.
- On Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff meet in Muscat for nuclear talks set to start at 10:00.
- With negotiators deeply split over scope, agenda disputes are the key barrier to progress as Washington wants talks on Iran's nuclear programme, missiles, proxies, and human rights, while Iran insists on nuclear issues only.
- Hours before the talks, Iran's state TV reported deployment of a Khorramshahr 4 missile and Iran warned it would respond harshly to any strike, while a US virtual embassy travel advisory urged US citizens to `leave Iran now`.
- Negotiations were briefly in doubt earlier this week but were later confirmed, with analyst Edmund Fitton‑Brown warning that military conflict is more likely than not if differences remain unresolved.
- These enrichment and regional dynamics could shape any deal as Iranian officials said last week they might hand over 400 kg of highly enriched uranium while Israel's strikes weakened Tehran's Axis of Resistance.
