US envoy Witkoff, Iran’s Araqchi to discuss possible nuclear deal on Feb 6

WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi plan to meet on Feb 6 in Istanbul to discuss a possible nuclear deal and other issues, a US official said on Feb 2.

"The president's been calling for them to make a deal. The meeting is to hear what they have to say," the official said.

An Iranian foreign ministry official earlier said Tehran was weighing the terms for resuming talks with the United States soon, after both sides signalled readiness to revive diplomacy over a long-running nuclear dispute
and dispel fears of a new regional war.
