The announcement by Oman's foreign minister comes as the U.S. is drawing down the presence of staffers who are not deemed essential to operations in the Middle East.

The sixth round of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks will be held on Sunday in Muscat, the Omani foreign minister said on Thursday, after U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated that Tehran would not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.

"I am pleased to confirm the 6th round of Iran US talks will be held in Muscat this Sunday the 15th," Bad Albusaidi, the country's foreign minister said on social media.

US-Iran nuclear negotiations face a critical delay due to a scheduling dispute, amid growing tensions over uranium enrichment, sanctions, and looming IAEA censure.

If Trump blocks Israel from attacking Tehran's nuclear sites without resolving the threat, Jerusalem will miss a rare opportunity to eliminate the Iranian nuclear threat.

Oman's foreign minister announced on Thursday that the sixth round of US-Iran nuclear talks would take place on Sunday in Muscat.

With U.S. nuclear negotiations with Iran at an impasse, the danger of a military showdown between the countries has been growing in recent days. The signs are everywhere. It began with a report last week that critical drone defenses initially meant for Ukraine would be diverted to U.

The US and Iran have been negotiating a nuclear deal for around two months, with Oman mediating. They have held five rounds of talks.
