Talks between the United States and Iran set for Friday in Oman will focus mainly on Tehran’s nuclear program but will also include discussions on ballistic missiles and Iran-backed militant groups, officials familiar with the plans told i24NEWS.
The negotiations, which had appeared close to collapse earlier this week, will take place in Oman after last-minute diplomatic efforts by regional states, according to the officials.
Iran had warned it would walk away if Washington pushed to broaden the agenda beyond the nuclear file, but both sides agreed to what one official described as a compromise that would allow talks on missiles and regional activity alongside nuclear issues, with the aim of setting out a framework for a future deal.
