US and Iran resume nuclear talks in Oman, first since June war

2026-02-06 · diplomatic

US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held largely indirect talks in Muscat under Omani mediation (US envoys also met Araghchi face to face, per Axios), the first negotiations since the June 2025 US strikes; both sides agreed to continue, with Washington demanding an end to enrichment and announcing fresh shipping sanctions the same day.
