Iran, US prepare for Oman talks after deadly protest crackdown

Iran and the U.S. held talks in Oman on Friday, their first high-level encounter since U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites in June. Led by Trumps Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and Irans Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, the talks aimed to explore diplomatic solutions on the nuclear program, ballistic missiles, and Tehrans support for regional militant groups, while military action remained an option.
