On February 6, Iran and the United States will hold nuclear negotiations in Oman.
Wednesday, February 4, 2026, saw the U.S. confirm the meeting's scheduled location in Muscat, which was also stated by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
The Iranian Foreign Minister said that the United States and Iran will hold nuclear negotiations in Oman on Friday, February 6, 2026. Tensions between the two nations are still high after Tehran's brutal suppression of widespread rallies last month.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi made the declaration on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, following hours of signs that the planned negotiations were stalling due to modifications to the format and subject matter.
Mr. Araghchi posted on X on Wednesday evening, February 4, 2026, saying, "I'm grateful to our Omani brothers for making all necessary arrangements."
A regional official earlier on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, stated that Iran was looking for a "different" kind of meeting than the one Turkiye had suggested, one that was only focused on Iran's nuclear program and in which only Iran and the US would be participating. Because they were not permitted to brief the media, the official spoke under the condition of anonymity.
According to a White House official, the Trump administration confirmed that the United States will participate in high-level negotiations with Iran in Oman rather than Turkiye as initially scheduled.
The official, who spoke under the condition of anonymity and was not authorized to comment publicly, stated that on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, a number of Arab and Muslim leaders urged the Trump administration to continue negotiations despite pressure from Iranian officials to change the location and limit their scope.
The person went on to say that although the White House is still "extremely skeptical" that the negotiations would succeed, they have decided to accept the altered plans out of consideration for their regional friends.
After U.S. President Donald Trump hinted that the United States would use force against Iran in retaliation for the crackdown on protestors, tensions between the two nations surged. Additionally, Mr. Trump has been pressuring Tehran to reach an agreement to limit its nuclear program.
Turkiye calls for diplomacy
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey, reaffirmed his country's opposition to foreign interference in neighboring Iran on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, and urged discussion as a means of resolving disputes.
Turkiye, who was initially supposed to host the negotiations, has been working feverishly for the past week to get the United States and Iran to the talking table.
During a visit to Cairo, Mr. Erdogan stated, "We believe that external interventions involving our neighbor Iran would pose significant risks for the entire region." "The most appropriate course of action is to use diplomatic means to resolve issues with Iran, including the nuclear file."
