AI Summary

long article 6 min

In February 2026, the U.S. and Iran engaged in talks in Oman regarding Iran's nuclear program. Despite heightened tensions and a U.S. military buildup in the region, both sides agreed to continue discussions, aiming for a framework for future talks. Iran insists on its right to enrich uranium and refuses to negotiate on ballistic missiles. While President Trump called the talks a "good start" and stated Iran must agree to no nuclear weapons, his position appears to contradict his negotiators' demand that Iran cease all enrichment. The talks represent a diplomatic approach amidst regional tensions, but significant disagreements remain.
