The United States is preparing to resume direct negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program, with preliminary talks expected to take place in Oslo as early as next week, Axios reported Thursday, citing two people familiar with the plan. Israeli broadcasters Channel 12 and Channel 11 carried similar accounts earlier in the day. According to the reports, the discussions would bring together Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s special envoy, and veteran Iranian diplomat Abbas Araghchi. The meeting would mark the first publicly disclosed effort in months to restart diplomacy aimed at defining limits on Tehran’s nuclear activities. Neither Washington nor Tehran has formally confirmed the talks, and the detailed agenda has not been released. Norway has often served as a neutral venue for sensitive negotiations, and the planned session in Oslo could test whether full-scale nuclear diplomacy between the two longstanding adversaries can be revived.
