Iran and the United States held indirect talks in Oman on Friday, signaling a continuation of negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program but with little visible progress.
Iranian officials said discussions focused on setting a framework for future talks, while warning that deep mistrust and U.S. military pressure remain major obstacles.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said meaningful dialogue requires an end to threats and tension, citing President Donald Trump’s warnings of possible military action.

The talks were notable for the presence of Brad Cooper, underscoring the U.S. military posture in the region.
The U.S. delegation included special envoy Steve Witkoff, though Washington offered no immediate public response. Oman described the talks as exploratory rather than a step toward a deal.
Iran continues to limit inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency, raising concern among Western officials. Both sides said consultations would continue before any next round.
