Tensions between the United States and Iran continue to escalate as President Trump warned Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei should be “very worried.” Talks that began Friday in Oman marked the first direct engagement since U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities last June. Iran’s delegation was led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, while the U.S. team included envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
Trump described the discussions as “very good,” saying Tehran appears eager for a deal but faces “steep consequences” if it refuses. Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi said the meeting helped clarify both sides’ positions and identify progress. Iran maintains its nuclear program is peaceful, while Trump says he is prepared to strike if no agreement is reached.
