With President Donald Trump’s team, led by envoy Steve Witkoff, sitting down in Muscat, Oman with Iranian negotiators headed by Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, the big question is whether direct talks can avert a wider conflict with Iran as doubts persist in both Washington and Jerusalem.
YES: Supporters argue that Trump’s tough-but-open negotiating style gives Iran a final, clear off-ramp to accept strict terms and avoid a devastating confrontation.
NO: Skeptics say Tehran has a long history of stalling and deception, making these talks little more than a delay tactic before conflict becomes inevitable.
