US-Iran talks : Iranians hope for diplomacy and prepare for war
Published On 7 Feb 20267 Feb 2026
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says he hopes talks with the United States will resume soon, while US President Donald Trump pledged another round of negotiations next week following mediated discussions in Oman.
Araghchi told Al Jazeera on Saturday that Iran’s missile programme was “never negotiable” in Friday’s talks, and warned Tehran would target US military bases in the Middle East if the US attacks Iranian territory.

He added that despite the negotiations in Muscat being indirect, “an opportunity arose to shake hands with the American delegation”. The talks were “a good start“, but he insisted “there is a long way to go to build trust”.
Iranians in the capital, Tehran, however, seemed less positive.
“In my opinion, like previous times, negotiations will end without results because both sides are sticking to their own positions and not willing to back down,” a woman who asked to remain anonymous told Al Jazeera.
Abdullah al-Shayji, a US foreign policy expert at Kuwait University, said he hopes for a new deal between the two foes but is not feeling optimistic.
“There is a strong position” from the US and “being provoked by” Israel to “clamp down on the Iranians because they feel that Iran is at its weakest point” so that it will be easy to extract concessions from it, especially after last month’s antigovernment demonstrations, al-Shayji said from the Al Jazeera Forum in Qatar’s capital Doha.
LLAW’s Thoughts, Concerns, and Fears about Today’s Nuclear World and Beyond . . .
If anyone thought otherwise beyond the failure of these talks for an agreement between Iran and the US,A, I have to wonder why they are having another meeting endorsed by Trump for next week. To shake hands? What a waste of time and expense that would be . . .
This whole charade — since April — has been an “authoritarian power game” executed by Trump, and has cost undo rage and many deaths in both Iran and Israel; and next week’s meeting is not even a “direct meeting”, so why does Trump believe it’s a good id4ea — perhaps for him to swell his chest with military brass medals posturing his self-appointed power to control “All Things Nuclear” — even if he can’t.?
If there is a so-called “legitimate” reason for this meeting and the one next week, it is that Trump is buying time for whatever he has in mind, and the nuclear issues are probably the only appetizers he has left in his excuse for what’s left of his down-the-toilet presidency . . . ~llaw
