Amid heightened military tensions in the Middle East, the United States and Iran appear to be edging toward renewed diplomacy. According to an Arab source cited by Axios, the Trump administration has agreed to Iran’s request to shift planned nuclear talks from Turkey to Oman, potentially easing the risk of immediate confrontation. U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi are expected to meet for discussions that could revive a nuclear deal, marking the first direct engagement since talks collapsed after last year’s brief war and strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. The move comes as Washington builds up military forces in the Gulf, with President Donald Trump warning that failure to reach a deal could lead to “bad things,” even as negotiations continue behind closed doors.
