Talks between Iran and the United States will be held on Friday in Oman, Iranian media say

The talks follow Iran's crackdown that led to over 50,000 arrests and nearly 7,000 deaths, as the U.S. aims to limit Iran's nuclear program, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, Iranian semiofficial ISNA, Tasnim and the Student News Network reported talks between Iran and the United States will be held Friday in Oman, though the sultanate did not immediately acknowledge hosting.
  • Last month, Tehran's violent crackdown on protests led to at least 50,834 arrested and at least 6,876 killed, according to the Human Rights Activists News Agency.
  • Iranian fast-boat encounters occurred in the Strait of Hormuz, and a U.S. Navy fighter jet shot down an Iranian drone, Iran did not immediately acknowledge either incident.
  • White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Special Envoy Steve Witkoff has been planning talks with Iranian officials in Turkey later this week, emphasizing `Trump 'is always wanting to pursue diplomacy first, but it takes two to tango.'`
  • Historically, Oman has hosted multiple nuclear talks, and the shift toward negotiations marks a major turn for Iran backed by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who previously dismissed talks.
