American and Iranian officials are scheduled to hold preliminary diplomatic talks in Oman on Saturday. The meeting could potentially lead to the first official face-to-face negotiations between the two countries since the Trump administration abandoned the landmark nuclear accord in 2018. The talks will be a feeling-out session to determine if there is possibility for full negotiations to limit Iran’s nuclear program. Both sides have high distrust due to President Trump walking away from the 2015 accord and imposing harsh sanctions on Iran. Iranian officials are skeptical but ready to engage in earnest and potentially seal a deal.
