Oman has mediated indirect talks between Iran and the United States over Iran's nuclear program, aiming to ease tensions. The discussions took place Friday at a palace on the outskirts of Muscat, with both Iranian and American officials meeting separately with Oman's foreign minister. The talks come after a period of heightened conflict, including U.S. bombings of Iranian nuclear sites and Iran's crackdown on protests. The U.S. has increased its military presence in the region, raising concerns about potential escalation. Details of the negotiations remain sparse, but the focus is reportedly on Iran's nuclear activities.
