Iran Seeks Venue and Format Change for Upcoming U.S. Negotiations

Iran has formally requested a change in both the venue and format of its negotiations with the United States, which are set to take place on Friday, as reported by Axios on Tuesday, citing two informed sources.

The Iranian delegation has proposed relocating the talks from Istanbul to Oman and wishes to conduct them with only U.S. representatives present, excluding other parties. This request appears to be an effort by Tehran to recalibrate the negotiation process and its conditions.
