US-Iran talks are taking place in Oman, CENTCOM commander is participating

The media note that the participation of the head of CENTCOM in this format is an atypical step.

The main American delegation in Oman is represented by Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner; Iranian – Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi. Negotiations are taking place in Muscat with the mediation of Oman.

According to Reuters and AP, serious differences remain on the agenda: Washington insists on a broader format (including the topics of the missile program and Iranian proxy forces), while Tehran emphasizes that the discussion should be limited to the nuclear topic.
