President Donald Trump said the United States had “very good talks” with Iran after delegations from both countries participated in indirect discussions in Oman Friday. Friday’s meetings in the Gulf Arab state of were the first round of negotiations between the two sides since the US and Israel struck the Islamic Republic last summer. Those talks effectively came to an end after Israel struck Iranian nuclear and military sites in mid-June, after which the US struck three Iranian nuclear facilities. Albusaidi then conveyed the plan to the US delegation led by Witkoff, and the American response will be delivered to the Iranian side during the talks, Iranian media added. When US bombers struck Iranian nuclear facilities in the summer, Iran launched an unprecedented missile strike in Qatar, targeting al-Udeid Air Base, the largest US military installation in the Middle East.
