00:08For a brief moment, U.S.-Iran nuclear talks
00:33didn't just stall, they collapsed.
00:35no agreement, no meeting, and a growing fear across the Middle East that diplomacy had just
00:41failed. Then, just hours later, the talks were suddenly back on. So what happened behind closed
00:48doors, and how close did the region come to another major escalation? According to multiple
00:54reports, including Axios, the talks scheduled for Friday, February 6, nearly fell apart at the last
01:01possible moment. The meeting was originally planned for Istanbul, Turkey, with a broader format
01:07that could have included representatives from several Arab and Muslim countries. But Iran made
01:12a late move. Tehran demanded the talks be shifted to Muscat, Oman, and narrowed to a strictly bilateral
01:20format focused only on Iran's nuclear program. No discussion of ballistic missiles, no talk of
01:26regional proxies, no human rights. Washington initially considered the proposal and then
01:32rejected it. One senior U.S. official described the exchange bluntly. We told them it is this
01:39or nothing, and they said, okay, then nothing. At that point, the talks were widely reported as
01:46canceled. That breakdown couldn't have come at a worse time. The U.S. has been building up
01:52massive military forces across the region, fighter jets in Jordan, carrier strike groups
01:57at sea, and missile defenses spread across the Gulf. Iran, meanwhile, is reeling from the aftermath
02:04of last year's 12-day war with Israel, devastating economic conditions and the deadliest protest
02:10crackdown in decades. Oil prices spiked on the collapse reports. Regional capitals went into crisis
02:17mode. Everyone understood the risk. If diplomacy failed now, the next step might not be another
02:23meeting. Then came the scramble to save the talks. At least nine Middle Eastern leaders, mostly from Arab
02:31and Muslim states, urgently reached out to the White House. Their message was clear and unusually direct.
02:37Don't walk away. Keep the channel open. Within hours, Washington reversed course. The U.S. agreed to move the
02:45talks to Oman and to limit this round to nuclear issues only, at least for now. Iran's foreign minister,
02:53Abbas Arekji, confirmed the meeting would take place in Muscat at 10 a.m. Friday. U.S. officials
02:59quietly confirmed it soon after. Oman isn't just neutral ground. Muscat has a long track record of
03:06quietly hosting U.S.-Iran back-channel diplomacy, including talks that led to previous nuclear agreements.
03:13If there was any place capable of pulling these talks back from the edge, it was Oman.
03:19Even with the talks revived, expectations remain low. President Trump has warned that Iran's
03:25supreme leader should be very worried if progress isn't made. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has made
03:31clear that any final deal must address missiles, regional proxies, and human rights, not just nuclear
03:38limits. Iran, on the other hand, wants sanctions relief first and insists the scope stay narrow.
03:44In other words, both sides are talking but past each other. This meeting in Muscat isn't about a
03:50breakthrough. It's about preventing collapse. So for now, diplomacy survives, but just barely.
03:57What happens after Friday may decide whether this crisis cools or explodes.
