Iran has requested changes to the venue and format of nuclear talks with the United States, Axios reported on Tuesday, citing two sources knowledgeable of the matter.
Reuters reported that Iran is seeking to move the talks from Istanbul to Oman.
This comes after Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced that they would meet in Istanbul on Friday.
Senior officials, likely foreign ministers, from Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Turkey were expected to join the talks, sources confirmed to The Jerusalem Post. Trump's advisor and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, will also attend, the sources said.
Separately on Tuesday, Iranian officials threatened to withdraw from the upcoming Istanbul talks, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter, though it is unclear what triggered the remarks.
This is a developing story.
