**Witkoff and Kushner left without making a statement**

##### [Where things stand after US and Iranian officials have indirect talks in Oman](https://www.npr.org/2026/02/06/nx-s1-5702425/where-things-stand-after-u-s-and-iranian-officials-indirect-talks-in-oman)

**Brief audio clip from NPR**

##### [Airforce Times](https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/pentagon-congress/2026/02/06/negotiators-push-for-more-talks-after-us-and-iran-convene-in-oman)

> Oman’s foreign minister**, Badr al-Busaidi, who mediated between the two sides,** wrote in a post on X after the meeting that the next step was to ***“reconvene in due course.”***

**That means Badr al Busaidi was to go between- No one spoke directly to one another**

**Today the American administration has encouraged Americans to leave Iran**

##### [US announces new Iran oil sanctions moments after concluding talks](https://www.newarab.com/news/us-announces-new-iran-oil-sanctions-moments-after-talks)

> **The United States has sanctioned 14 nautical vessels as part of what it calls a “shadow fleet” circumventing restrictions on the transport of Iranian oil and petroleum products.**

**I missed this one earlier but still worth reading**

##### [**Former IDF senior commander: We might attack in Iran before the US**](https://www.israelhayom.com/2026/01/28/avivi-iran-strike-internal-security-warning)

***In a fiery interview at the Israel Hayom conference in northern Israel, the security hawk Brig. Gen. (ret.) Amir Avivi says, “The probability that there will be a situation of a major attack in Iran and simultaneously fire from additional fronts – is very high.”***

###### Latest being reported from X- This CANNOT be verified to my satisfaction at this time. However this is the type of activity I’d have expected– **Israel the spoiler**– See yesterday’s report relinked immediately below
