CAIRO, Feb. 4 (Xinhua) -- Iran's nuclear talks with the United States will be held in Oman's Muscat on Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi said Wednesday.

He said on social media platform X that the talks will take place at around 10:00 a.m. local time (0600 GMT), thanking the Omani side for "making all necessary arrangements."

The announcement came after several media outlets reported that the talks may be cancelled over the two sides' disagreement on location and format.
