Muscat, Oman:In a bid to prevent a new conflict in the Middle East, **the United States and Iran are set to hold critical negotiations today in Oman**, focusing on the possibility of a new nuclear deal.

According to Iranian media, the talks will be **indirect**, with Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister **Abbas Araghchi** and U.S. envoy **Steve Wutke (Stewart Wutke)** participating. However, in a contrasting statement, **White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt** claimed the talks would be **direct**.

Adding to the diplomatic intensity, **Wutke arrived in Oman after holding a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin**, suggesting a broader international engagement. In his remarks, Wutke said **Russia’s support may be sought** on the Iran issue, highlighting the strategic importance of the negotiations.

The talks come amid growing tensions, as **U.S. President Donald Trump** has given Iran a **two-month deadline** to limit its nuclear program. Trump has warned that if diplomacy fails, **military action led by Israel could follow**.

Today’s meeting is being closely watched by the international community, as the stakes are high and the outcome could shape the region’s geopolitical future.
