The U.S. and Iran will hold negotiations in Oman on Friday, February 6, 2026, marking the first talks since June's conflict that damaged Iran's nuclear facilities. The meeting, confirmed by both the White House and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, will involve Araghchi, U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, and Oman's foreign minister. The talks aim to de-escalate tensions after weeks of mediation by regional countries seeking to prevent further conflict. The meeting follows threats of military action from President Trump if Iran doesn't meet U.S. demands regarding its nuclear program, missiles, and support for militant groups. Iran has rejected these demands, threatening retaliation for any attack.
