Quiet Diplomacy: US and Iran Revive Talks.

The Biden administration has restarted talks with Iran in an effort to limit Tehran's nuclear program and win the release of US detainees. Officials have traveled to Oman for indirect discussions with their Iranian counterparts at least three times since December. Iran is seeking to regain access to billions of dollars frozen by US sanctions, potentially in exchange for concessions on its American prisoners and nuclear ambitions. The US approved the payment of roughly $2.7 billion to Iran by Iraq for electricity and gas imports, according to the Wall Street Journal.
