Iran Rejects US Call to Halt Enrichment at Oman Talks
Iran rejected US demands to halt uranium enrichment during Oman talks, while both sides signaled flexibility and agreed negotiations will continue soon.
A regional diplomat told Reuters that Iran rejected US demands to stop uranium enrichment on its territory during negotiations held in Oman.
The source said Tehran is willing to discuss enrichment levels and the possible creation of a regional nuclear consortium instead of a full halt.
The diplomat added US negotiators appeared to understand Iran’s position and showed flexibility toward Tehran’s demands, while missile capabilities were not discussed.
Meanwhile, Fox News reported that Trump advisers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met directly with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi during the talks.
Officials from both countries expect negotiations to continue soon, with discussions in Muscat lasting several hours under Omani mediation.
Oman has repeatedly served as a mediator between Iran and the United States, hosting sensitive negotiations aimed at easing long-standing tensions between the two countries.
The talks come amid renewed diplomatic efforts following years of confrontation over Iran’s nuclear program, sanctions, and regional security concerns.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres and IAEA chief Rafael Grossi welcomed the negotiations, expressing hope continued dialogue could reduce tensions and revive diplomatic solutions.
