On February 28, 2026, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi revealed to NBC News that the U.S. and Iran had been making significant progress toward a nuclear deal prior to recent U.S.-Israeli military strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. This development comes as Oman’s Foreign Minister announced that indirect talks between the U.S. and Iran have made substantial headway, suggesting that peace is 'within reach' as Iran has agreed to eliminate its nuclear material stockpile. However, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed frustration with Iran's position, stating he is 'not happy' with the latest negotiations but is willing to give negotiators more time to avoid conflict in the Middle East. This backdrop of heightened military presence from Washington raises concerns about potential conflict, as reported by NPR and Daily Times.
