Iran Requests Change of Venue and Format for Upcoming Talks with the U.S.

Iran has formally requested alterations to the upcoming negotiations with the United States, seeking to change both the location and format of the talks scheduled for Friday, as reported by Axios on Tuesday, citing two informed sources.

The Iranian delegation has expressed a desire to relocate the discussions from Istanbul to Oman, proposing that the talks be held exclusively with U.S. representatives, without the involvement of additional parties. This move appears to be an effort by Tehran to recalibrate the negotiation framework and conditions.
