Iran-US Talks Narrow Window to Stabilize Diplomacy, Oman Next Venue
Iran wants fast, stabilising talks with the US before bringing regional partners on board, with Oman set as the next venue; regional mediators frame themselves as potential guarantors later. Washington maintains ambiguity, while core issues—ballistic missiles, uranium enrichment, and regional deterrence—remain unresolved. Diplomacy has deferred war for now, but success hinges on substantive concessions rather than format or venues, keeping a fragile window open.
