A senior U.S. official told Axios, \u201cWe told them it is this or nothing, and they said, \u2018Ok, then nothing.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Officials from several Middle Eastern countries contacted the White House at senior levels, asking Washington to keep the meeting from falling apart and to hear Iran out, according to the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>U.S. officials told Axios they agreed to proceed with the Oman meeting despite deep skepticism about Iran\u2019s intentions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the dispute over the scope of the talks intensified, President Trump was asked by NBC News correspondent Tom Llamas whether Iran\u2019s supreme leader should be concerned. Trump responded, \u201cI would say he should be very worried.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Analysts have described the talks as the last significant diplomatic opening before the Trump administration considers other options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iran said nuclear talks with the United States will proceed in Oman after negotiations came close to collapsing over Iran\u2019s insistence that discussions be limited strictly to its nuclear program, according to Axios.
