JAKARTA - Nuclear talks between the US and Iran, which were originally planned to be held in Turkey, are now expected to take place in Oman, according to the media Axios.
"Nuclear talks between the US and Iran are expected to take place in Oman on Friday," Axios correspondent Barak Ravid said via his X account, quoting an Arab source.
Axios initially reported that Tehran wanted to move the talks to the Gulf state from Istanbul, where the talks were to be held under the previous plan. Ravid later said in his post that Washington agreed.
"Negotiations are still ongoing regarding whether Arab and Muslim countries from the region will join the talks in Oman," he continued, quoted by ANTARA from Anadolu, Wednesday, February 4.
Neither the White House, Ankara, Muscat, nor Tehran immediately confirmed the report.
The US special envoy, Steve Witkoff, is scheduled to meet with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Istanbul on Friday to discuss Iran's nuclear program, according to several reports published this week.
However, Axios reported on Tuesday that Iran demanded a change of location and stated that Tehran wanted to change the format.
Reports indicate representatives from Turkey, Egypt, and Qatar are expected to join the talks, but Axios says Iran, in addition to a change of venue, is also pushing for direct talks.
