Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has arrived in Muscat, Oman, to participate in critical negotiations with United States representatives on Friday, February 6, 2026. These talks, facilitated by Oman as a neutral mediator, come at a time of extreme tension. U.S. President Donald Trump has maintained a “maximum pressure” stance, recently threatening direct military action if Tehran does not agree to a new deal that effectively ends its nuclear program. While the Iranian side has expressed a willingness to discuss the nuclear issue to seek the lifting of sanctions, they have remained firm that their ballistic missile program and regional defense strategies are non-negotiable.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that President Trump is closely monitoring the situation, waiting for updates from his envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Although Washington has prioritized a diplomatic “off-ramp,” the administration continues to emphasize that “all options are on the table,” highlighting a massive U.S. military buildup in the region. These discussions in Muscat are seen as a high-stakes test to determine if a diplomatic breakthrough can prevent a broader regional conflict, as both nations remain deeply divided over the scope and conditions of a potential agreement.
