U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed that the United States will hold direct talks with Iran this Saturday in Oman to address Tehran's nuclear program. The discussions will involve U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and a senior Iranian official, marking a rare face-to-face meeting between the two nations.
Rubio, speaking during a Cabinet meeting led by President Donald Trump, emphasized that the goal is to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. “We’ve been very clear—Iran is never going to have a nuclear weapon,” he stated.
President Trump had previously announced that the talks would take place, warning that Iran would face "great danger" if the negotiations failed. While initial reports from Tehran suggested the talks would be indirect, mediated by Oman, a U.S. official later confirmed both sides will be in the same room.
Tensions between the U.S. and Iran have escalated in recent months over Iran’s nuclear ambitions. On Wednesday, Trump reiterated his willingness to use military force if Iran refuses to halt its nuclear development. He also indicated that Israel would play a significant role in any potential military operation.
The upcoming meeting in Oman could be a pivotal moment for U.S.-Iran relations. While hopes for peace remain, the outcome of the talks may determine whether diplomacy or confrontation lies ahead.
