Iran has rejected direct talks with the U.S. over its nuclear program but expressed readiness for indirect negotiations via Oman, while warning regional neighbors against supporting any potential U.S. military action.
Iran has rejected U.S. demands for direct talks over its nuclear program but signaled willingness to engage in indirect negotiations through Oman, a longtime diplomatic channel. A senior Iranian official said such talks could assess Washington’s seriousness and may begin soon if U.S. messaging supports it.
Amid growing regional tensions, Iran has warned neighbors hosting U.S. military bases—including Iraq, Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar, Turkey, and Bahrain—that any involvement in a U.S. attack would be seen as hostile and met with “severe consequences.” Iranian forces have been placed on high alert by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
President Trump has expressed a preference for a diplomatic solution, even sending a letter to Khamenei proposing talks. Iranian officials believe there’s a two-month window to reach a deal, citing fears of unilateral Israeli action or the reactivation of global sanctions.
