Iran and the United States prepared Saturday to start in-depth negotiations in Oman over Tehran's rapidly advancing nuclear program, talks that likely will hinge on the Islamic Republic's enrichment of uranium.
Iranian state television suggested the talks could start mid-day Saturday in Muscat, the mountain-wrapped capital of this sultanate on the eastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula. However, neither Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi nor U.S. Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff offered any immediate specifics or details on the talks that they'll lead.
