For a brief moment, U.S.–Iran nuclear talks didn’t just stall — they collapsed. No agreement. No meeting. And a growing fear across the Middle East that diplomacy had just failed.
Then, just hours later… the talks were suddenly back on. So what happened behind closed doors — and how close did the region come to another major escalation?
According to multiple reports, including Axios, the talks scheduled for Friday, February 6, nearly fell apart at the last possible moment. The meeting was originally planned for Istanbul, Turkey, with a broader format that could have included representatives from several Arab and Muslim countries.
But Iran made a late move. Tehran demanded the talks be shifted to Muscat, Oman, and narrowed to a strictly bilateral format, focused only on Iran’s nuclear program.
