WASHINGTON, United States, Feb 4, 2026 (Reuters) -President Donald Trump on Tuesday said the US is negotiating with Iran “right now,” after Tehran demanded that planned talks be held in Oman not Turkey, and that the scope be narrowed.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump wouldn’t say where the talks later this week would be held.

“They are negotiating. They’d like to do something and we’ll see if something is going to be done. They had a chance to do something awhile ago, and it didn’t work out. And we did midnight hammer, I don’t think they want that happening again, but they would like to negotiate, we are negotiating right now with them, yes,” Trump said.

When asked where the meeting will take place, Trump said he cannot reveal the location before adding: “But really there is more than one meeting.”
