Iran, US Commence Talks in Oman Amid Deep Rifts And Mounting War Fears
Iran and the United States have commenced high‑stakes talks in Oman amid deep rifts and mounting fears of war over Tehran’s nuclear programme. Officials said indirect negotiations, mediated by Oman, aim to ease sharp differences, though disputes over the agenda — including Iran’s missile programme and regional influence — could complicate progress. Analysts noted the talks come against a backdrop of heightened tensions, including U.S. military buildup and concerns over a possible wider Middle East conflict, making diplomacy a critical test for both sides.
