Talks between Iran and the United States will be held on Friday in Oman, Iranian media say

Iranian media reported that talks between Iran and the United States will be held in Oman on Friday. This comes amid heightened tensions following Iran's crackdown on nationwide protests, where activists report over 50,000 arrests and thousands of deaths. Despite these tensions, including the downing of an Iranian drone by the U.S. and an Iranian attempt to stop a U.S.-flagged ship, negotiations are expected to proceed. Oman has previously hosted nuclear talks between the two countries. While the U.S. has not confirmed the Oman talks, the White House indicated that negotiations were anticipated, with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff planning to meet with Iranian officials.
