The latest development in the ongoing US-Iran negotiations is the commencement of high-stakes talks in Oman, as reported by multiple sources including Geo World, Dawn, and Al Jazeera. These talks, held on February 6, 2026, are primarily focused on Iran's nuclear program, but are overshadowed by significant disagreements over the agenda. The US, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, insists on discussing not only the nuclear program but also Iran's ballistic missiles, support for regional proxies, and internal governance issues. Iran, represented by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, has firmly stated that the discussions should focus solely on nuclear issues, emphasizing the need for 'mutual respect' and a 'fair, mutually acceptable and dignified understanding' (Dawn). The backdrop of these talks is a tense military buildup in the region, with President Donald Trump warning that 'bad things' could happen if a deal is not reached, as noted by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt (Dawn).
