US, Iran confirm nuclear talks in Oman after venue and agenda dispute

The United States and Iran have confirmed they will hold nuclear negotiations in Oman after a dispute over the venue and agenda. The talks were reportedly back on after lobbying from Middle Eastern leaders, with Iran's foreign minister confirming the meeting in Muscat. This development occurs amidst rising tensions, a continued American military buildup in the Gulf, and warnings from the US president. Iran has maintained that while it is ready for nuclear talks, its ballistic missile program is non-negotiable.
