Senior US and Iranian officials are getting ready to hold talks in Oman this Friday on Tehran's nuclear program. The key question is whether this round will lead to an easing of tensions between the two countries.
Iran's Tasnim News Agency, which is linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, posted about the talks. It said Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US special envoy Steve Witkoff will attend.
The talks have been suspended since last June, when the US military carried out strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
The news agency said "the subject of the negotiations is limited to the nuclear issue and lifting sanctions on Iran." But US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the agenda should include other issues as well, including Iran's ballistic missiles, sponsorship of terrorist organizations, and treatment of its own people.
The Trump administration has been boosting military pressure on Tehran. It has deployed the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln to the Arabian Sea region near Iran.
Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Washington-based Arms Control Association, said that if they can agree to "some very modest initial steps," it could ease tensions. He emphasized that both sides need to act with "greater realism and greater flexibility" to avoid another conflict in the Middle East.
