Iran wants to change venue and format of nuclear talks with U.S.

Iran has proposed altering the location and format for upcoming talks with the United States. They want to move the meeting from Istanbul to Oman, changing the format from a multilateral setting to a bilateral one with only the U.S. This shift could jeopardize Friday's planned negotiations and potentially push President Trump towards a military response. The sources indicate Iran is retracting agreements made recently, after invitations to various countries had been issued. Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi and White House envoy Witkoff are expected to lead the talks. Araghchi discussed the situation with officials from Oman, Turkey, and Qatar on Tuesday. In the meantime, Witkoff met with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu in Israel. The Israeli meeting reportedly focused on Iran, with top Israeli military and intelligence figures present. This situation is evolving and the outcome of the proposed changes are still uncertain.
