Iran has rejected direct negotiations with the United States over its nuclear program, as stated by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, but remains open to indirect talks through Oman. The history of U.S.-Iran negotiations has been complicated by the U.S.'s withdrawal from the nuclear deal in 2018, leading to stalled diplomatic efforts. The situation is further strained by the Israel-Hamas conflict, which adds tension to U.S.-Iran relations and affects regional stability, leaving the future of negotiations uncertain.
