According to Axios, White House envoy Steve Witkoff is scheduled to meet Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to discuss Tehran’s response to Washington’s latest proposal. While Iran has yet to formally reply, a US official told Axios the talks are “increasingly likely to proceed as planned.”
On Tuesday, Iran announced that preparations for the next round of indirect talks were underway, with the date and venue set for June 15 in the Omani capital.
The announcement comes amid heightened regional tensions. Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh warned this week that Iran would strike US bases in the region if conflict erupts over the stalled nuclear negotiations.
In response, the US Department of Defense confirmed Wednesday that it has authorized the voluntary departure of military families from several locations within the US Central Command (CENTCOM) area of operations, which includes Iraq and neighboring countries.
