BBC – Senior US and Iranian officials are set to continue discussions after talks in Oman, the Iranian foreign minister says, amid a crisis that had raised fears of a conflict between the countries.

Rubio hopes talks will go beyond nuclear ones

Tensions between the countries spiked after Trump suggested the U.S. might use force against Iran in response to the bloody crackdown on nationwide protests last month that killed thousands of people or if Iran conducted mass executions of detained demonstrators. The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency reported Wednesday that over 50,000 people also had been arrested over the protests.

Trump also has been pushing Tehran for a deal to constrain its nuclear program.

Iran’s reformist President Masoud Pezeshkian on Tuesday said he had instructed the foreign minister to “pursue fair and equitable negotiations” with the U.S., in the first clear sign from Tehran it wants to try to negotiate. That signaled the move is supported by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the final say on all matters of state and previously dismissed any negotiations.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. hoped to discuss a number of concerns beyond the nuclear issue, including discussions on Iran’s ballistic missiles, support for proxy networks across the region and the “treatment of their own people.”

“The leadership of Iran at the clerical level does not reflect the people of Iran. I know of no other country where there’s a bigger difference between the people who lead the country and the people who live there,” he told reporters.

Vice President JD Vance told “The Megyn Kelly Show” that diplomatic talks with Iran are challenging because Khamenei oversees Tehran’s political system and declines to speak directly with Trump, unlike the leaders of China, North Korea or Russia.

Vance said Trump’s bottom line is that Iran cannot be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, asserting that other states in the region would quickly do the same.

Iran long has insisted its nuclear program is peaceful. However, Iranian officials in recent years have increasingly threatened to pursue the bomb and had been enriching uranium up to 60% purity, a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%.

Vance said he believed Trump would work to “accomplish what he can through non-military means. And if he feels like the military is the only option, then he’s ultimately going to choose that option.”

Talks expected even after US shot down Iranian drone

On Tuesday, a U.S. Navy fighter jet shot down an Iranian drone that approached an American aircraft carrier. Iranian fast boats from its paramilitary Revolutionary Guard also tried to stop a U.S.-flagged ship in the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf, the Navy said.

Iran did not formally acknowledge either incident, which strained but apparently did not derail hopes for talks with the U.S.

On Wednesday, Iranian military chiefs visited a missile base in an attempt to highlight its military readiness after the 12-day war devastated Iran’s air defenses. The base holds the Khorramshahr missile, which has a range of more than 2,000 kilometers (1,250 miles) and was launched toward Israel during the war last year.

ABC News – Nuclear talks between Iran and the United States will take place Friday in Oman, the Iranian foreign minister said, as tensions between the countries remain high following Tehran’s bloody crackdown on nationwide protests last month.

The announcement Wednesday by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi came after hours of indications that the anticipated talks were faltering over changes in the format and content of the talks. U.S. President Donald Trump, meanwhile, sent a blunt warning to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ahead of the talks.

“I would say he should be very worried,” Trump said of Khamenei in an interview with NBC News.

Turkey had been working behind the scenes to host talks in Istanbul with regional countries taking part and discussions focused on issues like Iran’s ballistic missile program and other concerns.

Early Wednesday, a regional official said Iran was seeking a “different” type of meeting focused exclusively on the issue of Iran’s nuclear program, with participation limited to Iran and the United States. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media.

A similar series of talks had been hosted last year by Oman, a sultanate on the eastern edge of the Arabian Peninsula that long as served as an interlocutor between Iran and the West. Those talks ultimately broke down in June as Israel launched what became a 12-day war on Iran that included the U.S. bombing Iranian nuclear sites.

A White House official, who spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to discuss the talks publicly, confirmed the talks would happen in Oman. The official said several Arab and Muslim leaders urged the Trump administration on Wednesday not to walk away from talks even as Iranian officials pressed to narrow their scope.

The official added that the White House remains “very skeptical” that the talks will be successful but has agreed to go along with the change in plans out of respect for allies in the region.

Alan Eyre, a former U.S. diplomat once involved in past nuclear negotiations with Tehran, similarly offered a skeptical opinion of talks succeeding.

“Opting for indirect talks is the diplomatic equivalent of a surgeon taking a hit of ether and then putting on gloves before a difficult surgery,” Eyre wrote on X.

Tensions between the countries spiked after Trump suggested the U.S. might use force against Iran in response to the bloody crackdown on nationwide protests last month that killed thousands of people or if Iran conducted mass executions of detained demonstrators.

Also Wednesday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reiterated Turkey’s opposition to foreign intervention in neighboring Iran, calling for the resolution of issues through dialogue.

Turkey has been urgently working for the past week to bring the U.S. and Iran to the negotiating table, and was previously expected to host the talks.

“We believe that external interventions involving our neighbor Iran would pose significant risks for the entire region,” Erdogan said during a visit to Cairo. “Resolving issues with Iran, including the nuclear file, through diplomatic means is the most appropriate approach.”

Al Jazeera – Iranian authorities have launched an online portal for people to report the names of loved ones missing from a government list of thousands killed during recent nationwide protests, as calls for accountability grow.

Authorities say 3,117 people were killed during the anti-establishment protests that began in late December, rejecting statements by the United Nations and international human rights organisations that state forces were behind the killings, which were mostly carried out on January 8 and 9.

The United States-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) says it has verified 6,872 deaths and is investigating more than 11,000 other cases. A UN special rapporteur has said the death toll may be higher than 20,000 as information trickles out despite heavy internet filtering by the state.

On Sunday, the government of President Masoud Pezeshkian released the names of 2,986 Iranians confirmed to have been killed during the protests. It said the remaining 131 have not been identified, so a complementary list will be forthcoming at an undisclosed time.

The list includes the full names of those killed, the first name of their father, and the last six digits of their 10-digit national identification number. It does not elaborate where, when, how or by whom they were killed, and avoids any further classification, such as distinguishing between protesters and heavily armed state forces.

Since the release of the list, many Iranians have taken to social media to report the omission of names of people confirmed by their families and friends to have been killed during the protests. The register also contained a number of repetitive entries, with matching names and national identification codes.

Late on Tuesday, the government announced a website where people could report the names of loved ones missing from the list. But it was unclear when any potential update would be forthcoming to add names and clarify errors and ambiguities.

People were also urged to report any violations, including being demanded money by authorities to receive the bodies of their loved ones, and any refusal to provide lifesaving medical care to wounded protesters.

The government has consistently rejected all reports of misconduct by state forces, including raids on hospitals and the arrests of medical personnel for assisting protesters.

It has also announced an internal fact-finding mission – as it rejects a UN mandate on the issue – but has provided no details, including who the members are or when findings may be published.

In an apparent attempt to appease families of the victims and the grieving public, a government statement on Sunday said “all of the victims of the recent incidents and unrest were the children of this land and no bereaved person must be abandoned in silence and helplessness”.

However, the messaging was in stark contrast with daily comments from the political, military and judicial authorities, including Pezeshkian, stressing that “terrorists” were behind the “riots”, which they claim were armed and funded by the United States and Israel.

Moreover, in late January, Iran’s Martyrs Foundation said 2,427 of those killed were “innocent”, including civilians and security forces. The figure suggested that the remaining 690 killed may have been classified as the “terrorists” referenced by state officials, but there has been no further clarity on that.

The government’s list of names was also published in full and in small text on the front pages of two newspapers, with the Payam-e Ma morning daily using the headline, “the deceased”, for the victims.

Government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani held a news conference on Tuesday, where she was met with a rebuke from a journalist, clips of which are being widely shared online.

Parisa Hashemi, a journalist with Ham-Mihan newspaper – which is currently under legal prosecution for reporting on the protests – reminded the spokesperson that Iran is suffering from corruption, poverty, energy and water crises, chronic air pollution and much more.

“Now we hear that the ‘enemy’ sabotaged protests in our country, created rivers of blood, and committed a mass killing. There is no doubt that those who fired at our youth, children, women and men are enemies of this land,” she said, pointing out that not a single official has resigned in the aftermath.

“If this had happened in any other country, its officials would either die from the shame or kill themselves out of honour,” Hashemi said.

In response, Mohajerani smiled and said the journalist was posing a statement rather than a question and repeated a line about “hope” being crucial for any society.

The official IRNA news agency did not include the three-minute part of the journalist’s comments when releasing the recorded footage of the news conference on its website.

Meanwhile, renowned actress Elnaz Shakerdoost on Monday announced in a handwritten statement appearing to be stained in blood that she is quitting Iranian cinema due to the protest killings.

“I will never again play any role in this soil that smells of blood. This is my main role,” she wrote, also saying she is boycotting the Fajr International Film Festival.

The state-run festival opened this week amid boycotts from artists and the public, but some of the directors and actors who took part lashed out at those who were absent.

Film director and screenwriter Mohammad Hossein Mahdavian received a backlash online after calling boycotters “cowards” and saying he is happy not to have hired “a bunch of scared stars” for his state-funded film featuring at the festival.

Devdiscourse – In recent developments, Iranian police have detained 139 foreign nationals in the central province of Yazd, alleging their involvement in ongoing protests. This information comes via the semi-official Tasnim news agency, which noted that the protests began due to economic grievances before morphing into broader political dissent.

Authorities report that these demonstrations, initially sparked by economic challenges in December, quickly escalated. The Iranian government accuses foreign entities of inciting the unrest, citing a history of foreign involvement as a catalyst. The official death toll from the protests stands at over 3,000, although rights groups believe the number is higher.

Officials claim the arrested foreign nationals actively participated in organizing and inciting the protests, with some allegedly communicating with overseas networks. Iran’s judiciary has warned of severe repercussions for detainees implicated in violent actions during the unrest.

VOI – Iranian authorities have arrested more than 50,000 people as part of a crackdown on protests, an NGO said on Tuesday, adding that new arrests were still taking place.

Human rights groups have accused Iranian security forces of killing thousands of people in a crackdown on protests that peaked on January 8 and 9 and have since subsided.

However, police have also arrested large numbers of people from all walks of life across the country, with state leaders blaming the unrest on foreign-backed “rioters”.

The US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) said it had counted at least 50,235 arrests related to the protests, as reported by Al Arabiya from AFP (3/2).

“The arrests target a wide range of citizens, including students, writers, and teachers,” he said.

“In some cases, arrests are accompanied by house searches and seizure of personal belongings,” HRANA explained.

HRANA further said it had counted more than 300 forced confessions related to the protests, in which suspects made televised statements after experiencing physical or psychological torture.

Previously, Amnesty International said in a statement last week, thousands of people, including children, had been arrested in the crackdown.

They are said to be at “high risk of enforced disappearance, torture and other ill-treatment, death in custody and prolonged imprisonment as well as arbitrary execution following grossly unfair trials.”

Meanwhile, the head of Iran’s Supreme Court Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei has vowed “there will be no leniency” for violators, while the judiciary has indicated some may be charged with crimes punishable by death.

Among those recently arrested was screenwriter Mehdi Mahmoudian, co-writer of Jafar Panahi’s film “It was Just an Accident,” which was nominated for best international film at this year’s Oscars and won the prestigious Palme d’Or at the 2025 Cannes festival.

Abdollah Momeni and women’s rights activist Vida Rabbani were also detained in the same case, after they signed a joint statement with more than a dozen other activists condemning the “organized state crime against humanity” in the crackdown, according to the detained Nobel laureate’s foundation, Narges Mohammadi.

Mohammadi, the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize winner, was arrested during a demonstration in December before the current wave of protests began and has only been allowed one phone call with his family since.

Mohammadi’s foundation said prosecutors would only allow him to make new phone calls if he complied with rules about what he said, a condition he rejected.

Euro News – Iranian authorities arrested 139 foreign nationals in the central city of Yazd during recent anti-government protests, state-run media reported on Tuesday, as the death toll from the unrest remains heavily disputed.

The police chief in Yazd said those detained were involved “in organising, inciting and directing riotous actions, and in some cases were in contact with networks outside the country”, according to Iran’s Tasnim news agency. The nationalities of those arrested were not disclosed.

“During the review of cases related to the recent rioters, it was determined that 139 of those arrested in these disturbances were foreign nationals,” Ahmad Negahban said.

Protests against the rising cost of living erupted in Iran on 28 December before spreading into nationwide anti-government demonstrations that have drawn international condemnation over the violent crackdown.

The Tehran regime acknowledged in January that more than 3,000 deaths occurred during the unrest, but continues to claim most were members of security forces and innocent bystanders, attributing the violence to “terrorist acts”.

However, the Human Rights Activists News Agency, a US-based organisation, says it has confirmed 6,854 deaths, mostly protesters killed by security forces.

Other human rights groups warn the actual toll is likely far higher, with insiders in Iran estimating as many as 30,000 people are feared to have been killed.

Iranian authorities maintain the rallies began as peaceful demonstrations before turning into “riots” involving killings and vandalism that were inflamed by the United States and Israel, which Tehran considers arch-enemies.

The protests represent the most significant challenge to Iran’s regime since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, with demonstrators calling for an end to clerical rule and demanding fundamental political change.

Talks on the table

International pressure has mounted on Tehran over its response to the demonstrations, with several countries imposing sanctions on Iranian officials accused of ordering the violent suppression of protesters.

Washington threatened to intervene with military action over the killing of peaceful demonstrators and mass executions.

Last week, the Pentagon moved the carrier USS Abraham Lincoln and several guided-missile destroyers to the region, although it remains unclear whether President Donald Trump will decide to use force.

Tehran has dismissed fears of an intervention over the weekend, saying it is currently involved in negotiations with Washington.

However, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned Washington that any conflict would spill over into the entire region.

“America should know that if it starts a war, this time it will be a regional war,” Khamenei said.

“These threats are nothing new. In the past as well, American officials repeatedly talked about war and said that all options were on the table including war,” he added.

The US president has since dismissed Khamenei’s sabre-rattling, stating that a deal is still on the table.

“We have the biggest, most powerful ships in the world over there, very close, a couple of days,” Trump told reporters on Sunday.

“Hopefully, we’ll make a deal. If we don’t make a deal, we’ll find out whether or not he was right.”

Trump’s words were followed by an announcement that Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is expected to meet US Special Representative Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Istanbul on Friday, according to President Masoud Pezeshkian.

“I have instructed my minister of foreign affairs, provided that a suitable environment exists — one free from threats and unreasonable expectations — to pursue fair and equitable negotiations, guided by the principles of dignity, prudence, and expediency,” Pezeshkian wrote on X on Tuesday.

Dagens – Tensions are rising in the Middle East, as Iran continues to crack down on anti-government protests and the U.S. is sending military ships, including the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, to the region.

Donald Trump has warned the Iranian leadership to stop killing protesters, as 3,117 people have been killed so far, according to official numbers.

The US-based opposition group HRANA estimated the death toll at 6,842, however.

But Iran’s nuclear programme is another factor increasing tensions.

The Jerusalem Post reported yesterday that satellite images from one of the destroyed sites show it is being rebuilt.

Iran claims that the nuclear programme is solely for civilian purposes, but there are fears that the uranium being enriched is actually being used to develop nuclear weapons.

And now, Russia is offering to ease tensions between the U.S. and Iran.

Offering to take the uranium

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday that Russia has for years offered to process or store Iran’s enriched uranium on its own territory, according to Reuters and EFE.

He said Moscow is ready to help remove enriched uranium currently kept in Iran in order to reduce what he described as “irritating factors” linked to Tehran’s nuclear programme, adding that the matter “has been on the agenda for some time.”

Diplomatic positioning

Peskov said Russia is maintaining contacts with all parties involved and remains prepared, where possible, to encourage a lowering of tensions around Iran.

The comments place Moscow as a potential intermediary as nuclear diplomacy remains stalled following earlier negotiations between the United States and Iran.

Those talks were disrupted after the outbreak of a war launched by Israel against Iran, which later involved the United States, including strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, according to the same reports.
