U.S. and Iranian Officials Held Indirect Talks in Oman on Risks of a Wider War
Briefly

Senior American and Iranian officials held talks in Oman post-Iran's retaliation against Israel. The aim was to curb Iran's support to regional militias to prevent escalation.
Discussions were facilitated by intermediaries due to the absence of direct diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Iran since 1979, with previous talks held in January.
Iran carried out a retaliatory attack after Israel killed an Iranian commander. The U.S., Israel, European, and Arab allies cooperated to thwart the assault.
Despite tensions and recent attacks, U.S. intelligence officials believe both Hezbollah and Iran are reluctant to engage in a wider conflict.
