Iran has requested that nuclear talks with the United States be held in Oman on Friday, a source familiar with the discussions told Fox News, as Tehran pushes for changes to the structure of renewed negotiations.

The request comes as Axios reported that Iranian officials are also pressing to limit the talks to a bilateral U.S.-Iran format, excluding other Arab and regional countries — a move that could complicate U.S. diplomatic efforts in the region.

The State Department has not publicly confirmed whether any talks are scheduled or what format they would take.

TRUMP SAYS IRAN ALREADY HAS US TERMS AS MILITARY STRIKE CLOCK TICKS

Reuters reported Monday that Tehran is examining the possibility of renewed nuclear talks with the United States, with Turkey emerging as a potential venue and regional mediators, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar, playing an active role, after President Donald Trump said he was hopeful a deal could be reached to avert military action against Iran.

Trump has reportedly been weighing his options on a possible military strike on Iran amid widespread protests and violent crackdowns inside the country. Trump announced last week that a "massive Armada is heading to Iran," led by the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier. 

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Tuesday that talks between the U.S. and Iran are still scheduled, confirming special envoy Steve Witkoff remains engaged in diplomatic discussions.

IRANIAN GUNBOATS UNSUCCESSFULLY ATTEMPT TO BOARD OIL TANKER AS TRUMP BUILDS MILITARY PRESENCE

"Oh, look, I just spoke with special envoy Witkoff. And, these talks as of right now are still scheduled. President Trump is always wanting to pursue diplomacy first, but obviously it takes two to tango. You need a willing partner to achieve diplomacy. And that's something that special envoy Witkoff is intent on exploring and discussing," Leavitt said.

Leavitt added that Trump continues to keep military options on the table.

"As always, though, of course, the president has a range of options on the table with respect to Iran. As commander in chief, I think they learned that quite well last year with the strike in Operation Midnight Hammer, which was wildly successful and obliterated their nuclear capabilities. But those talks will continue later this week as far as we're concerned. Right now," she said.

The news comes after six Iranian gunboats unsuccessfully attempted to halt a U.S.-flagged oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The security firm Vanguard Tech told its clients on Tuesday that the Iranian vessels were armed with .50-caliber guns, and they ordered the oil tanker to turn off its engines and prepare to be boarded. Instead, the tanker sped up and was ultimately escorted to safety by a U.S. Navy vessel, according to the Journal.

In addition, the U.S. military shot down an unmanned Iranian drone Tuesday after it "aggressively approached a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier with unclear intent," a U.S. Central Command spokesman told Fox News. No U.S. service members were injured and no U.S. equipment was damaged during the incident.

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) made the mistake on Tuesday to make up stories about about President Trump from the Epstein Files.

Lieu accuses President Trump of “raping” and “threatening to kill children.”

Not a bit of that was true!

Let’s hope that Trump comes down hard on this reckless idiot.

Here are Lieu’s full remarks:

Rep. Ted Lieu: Why are Republicans so interested in Bill Hillary Clinton? It’s because they’re trying to distract from the fact that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there’s highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children, of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. I encourage your press to go look at these allegations. I’m highly I’m disturbed that Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanch, just got the law wrong. Yesterday, he said, essentially, that it is not a crime to party with Jeffrey Epstein. Well, that’s actually not correct. If Jeffrey Epstein was human trafficking minors for these sex parties, and you show up and patronize the establishment at that party? Yes, you’re guilty because patronizing is part of the law of the federal sex trafficking law. So Deputy General Tom Lange just got that wrong, which maybe explains why they aren’t investigating all these folks, including Donald Trump.

Via Karli Bonne.

THIS IS VIA GROK:
Q: Did Trump threaten to kill a child in the Epstein files?

Grok: No, there is no credible evidence or verified claim in the Epstein files that Donald Trump threatened to kill a child. The recently released Epstein documents (including the large January/February 2026 DOJ batch of ~3 million pages) contain numerous mentions of Trump—hundreds to thousands across files, often in flight logs, emails, news clippings, or passing references from his past social ties to Epstein. However, these do not include any substantiated allegation of Trump threatening to kill a child (or committing murder/violence against one).

The Iranian president, who just days ago accused President Donald Trump of provoking unrest and trying to "tear this country apart," is now striking a softer tone regarding talks about its nuclear program, following a warning from Trump. 

Trump said at the White House on Monday that the U.S. is talking with Iran and that he would "like to see a deal negotiated."  

"And if we could work something out, that'd be great," Trump added. "And if we can't, probably bad things would happen." 

Masoud Pezeshkian then took to X on Tuesday and wrote, "In light of requests from friendly governments in the region to respond to the proposal by the President of the United States for negotiations: I have instructed my Minister of Foreign Affairs, provided that a suitable environment exists — one free from threats and unreasonable expectations — to pursue fair and equitable negotiations, guided by the principles of dignity, prudence, and expediency."

IRAN RAMPS UP REGIONAL THREATS AS TRUMP CONSIDERS TALKS

"These negotiations shall be conducted within the framework of our national interests," Pezeshkian also said. 

Axios has reported that U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff will meet Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Istanbul on Friday. However, a source familiar with the matter told Fox News on Tuesday that Iran wants to move the discussions to Oman.

Pezeshkian told state television on Saturday that Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and European leaders "rode on our problems, provoked, and were seeking — and still seek — to fragment society," according to Reuters.

IRAN STAGES KHAMENEI PHOTOS TO MASK CRACKS IN IRGC, OPPOSITION GROUPS SAY

"They brought them into the streets and wanted, as they said, to tear this country apart, to sow conflict and hatred among the people and create division," Pezeshkian reportedly added about the anti-government protests and deadly crackdown that recently swept through Iran. "Everyone knows that the issue was not just a social protest."   

Then in a series of posts on X on Tuesday, Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said, "The United States wants to devour Iran; the Iranian nation and the Islamic Republic prevent this," and, "Iran stands firm and will continue to stand firm, and — God willing — will put an end to the United States’ mischief and harassment."

"The recent sedition was orchestrated by Zionists & the US. I was informed through a certain channel that the CIA & Mossad deployed all of their resources into the field!"  Khamenei also claimed, without providing any evidence.

Trump said last week that "time is running out for Iran."

In a Truth Social post last Wednesday, Trump wrote, "A massive Armada is heading to Iran."  

"It is moving quickly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose. It is a larger fleet, headed by the great Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln, than that sent to Venezuela. Like with Venezuela, it is, ready, willing, and able to rapidly fulfill its mission, with speed and violence, if necessary. Hopefully, Iran will quickly 'Come to the Table' and negotiate a fair and equitable deal — NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS — one that is good for all parties. Time is running out, it is truly of the essence!" the president warned.

Der größte Bankier der Welt hat seine Meinung geändert

Bereits 2021 schrieb Larry Fink, CEO von BlackRock, in seinem jährlichen CEO-Brief: „Kein Thema ist wichtiger als der Klimawandel.“ Er werde die globalen Kapitalströme neu gestalten, sagte er und erklärte: „… jeder kann die Auswirkungen des Klimawandels in den Naturkatastrophen in Kalifornien oder Florida sehen.“

Aber jetzt einmal nichts von globalem Artensterben und Überschwemmungen. Fink sprach gerade im Skiclub für Milliardäre in Davos und erklärte, dass wir „Billionen von Dollar” an Investitionen für KI benötigen. Rechenzentren, so sagte er, wachsen rasant – ein Technologieunternehmen, mit dem er sprach, gab an, dass „seine Rechenzentren derzeit etwa 5 Gigawatt verbrauchen, aber bis 2030 voraussichtlich 30 Gigawatt benötigen werden”.

Aber wie ein echter Bankier sieht er keinen Rückschlag, sondern nur Investitionsmöglichkeiten – die Welt habe zu wenig Energie, sagt er. (Er verschweigt dabei, dass dies zum großen Teil darauf zurückzuführen ist, dass BlackRock Unternehmen und Länder auf der ganzen Welt dazu gedrängt hat, fossile Brennstoffe aufzugeben.) Fink hat selbst zu der Energieknappheit beigetragen, die er nun als Investitionsmöglichkeit bezeichnet. BlackRock ist der größte Vermögensverwalter der Welt und verwaltet ein Vermögen von 10 Billionen Dollar, was dem Fünffachen des BIP Australiens entspricht. Wenn so viel Geld spricht, hören alle zu.

Jetzt wirft Larry Fink Wind- und Solarenergie auf den Müll!

Er ist sachlich, mit ernster Miene, fast so, als hätte er nie für intermittierende Generatoren geworben:

Fink: „Gleichzeitig stellt dies eine enorme Investitionsmöglichkeit dar. Die Welt wird unter Stromknappheit leiden. Und um diese Rechenzentren zu versorgen, kann man sich nicht allein auf intermittierende Quellen wie Wind und Sonne verlassen. Man braucht regelbare Energie, denn diese Rechenzentren lassen sich nicht einfach ein- und ausschalten.“

Nach 45 Minuten und 30 Sekunden lässt Larry Fink die Bombe platzen:

Transskript der Rede von Larry Fink beim WEF:

„KI ist im Grunde genommen ein Geschäft mit hoher Kapitalisierung. Wenn man sich derzeit den S&P 500 ansieht, machen die zehn größten Unternehmen etwa 38 % des Index‘ aus. Wenn sich KI so entwickelt, wie viele erwarten, und wenn man sich das Ausmaß der Re-Investitionen ansieht, die diese Unternehmen bereits tätigen, könnte dieser Anteil auf 50 % steigen. Am Ende könnten wir einen „S&P 10” und einen „S&P 490” haben. Das allein zeigt schon, welche Kraft in dieser Entwicklung steckt.

Um KI richtig aufzubauen, sprechen wir von Investitionen in Höhe von Billionen Dollar. Rechenzentren verbrauchen heute vielleicht etwa 200 Megawatt, aber neue Anlagen sind in einer Größenordnung von einem Gigawatt geplant – das entspricht dem Stromverbrauch einer Stadt. Ein Technologieunternehmen, mit dem ich letzte Woche gesprochen habe, gab an, dass seine Rechenzentren derzeit etwa 5 Gigawatt verbrauchen, aber bis 2030 voraussichtlich 30 Gigawatt benötigen werden.

Der Strombedarf für den Betrieb von KI wird enorme Auswirkungen auf die Gesellschaft haben. Woher soll dieser Strom kommen? Werden wir ihn aus dem bestehenden Netz beziehen?

Was bedeutet das für die Energiepreise für alle anderen? Das sind wichtige gesellschaftliche Fragen, mit denen wir uns noch nicht wirklich auseinandergesetzt haben. Vergessen wir für einen Moment die Einsatzmöglichkeiten von KI – allein die Erzeugung des Stroms für den Betrieb erfordert enorme Mengen an Energie.

Gleichzeitig stellt dies eine enorme Investitionsmöglichkeit dar. Die Welt wird unter Stromknappheit leiden. Und um diese Rechenzentren zu versorgen, kann man sich nicht allein auf intermittierende Energiequellen wie Wind und Sonne verlassen. Man braucht regelbare Energie, denn diese Rechenzentren lassen sich nicht einfach ein- und ausschalten.

Two saboteurs can wreak a lot of havoc.

As European nations are frenetically building up their militaries, the question of whether they can protect their present capabilities is raised.

In the port of Hamburg, the largest in Germany and 3^rd largest in Europe, an episode has happened that highlights how insecure military assets actually are.

The Hamburg police and the General Prosecutor’s Office have arrested two shipyard workers: a Romanian and a Greek. They allegedly carried out acts of sabotage on naval ships.

BILD reported (translated from the German):

“The accesses took place in Hamburg and in a village in Greece. In addition, apartments of the suspects in Hamburg, Romania and Greece have been searched. The measures were coordinated by Eurojust, which is responsible for cross-border organized crime, in The Hague.

According to the Office of the Public Prosecutor General, the two accused are said to have been arrested several times for the Navy of the United States in 2025 during their work in the Port of Hamburg.”

“The men allegedly poured over 20 kilograms of blasting gravel into the engine block of a ship, also punctured fresh water supply lines, removed fuel caps from fuel tanks and deactivated fuse switches of the ship’s electronics.

The incident was only discovered by a check on board before the first departure of the corvette ‘Emden’ in mid-January in the direction of Kiel.”

The Attorney General’s Office says the men could have caused considerable damage to the Ships or caused a delay in their departure.

The investigations will attempt to discover who the clients of the sabotage are.

CNN’s Senior Data Reporter, Harry Enten, shared that Americans are overwhelmingly in support of requiring voter ID.

During his discussion, Enten referenced an X post Nicki Minaj posted on Sunday which stated, ” What sensible forward thinking cutting edge leading nation is having a DEBATE on whether or not there should be VOTER ID?!?!!!!

“Like?!?!? They’re actually fighting NOT to have ppl present ID while voting for your leaders!!!!! Do you get it?!?!!!! Do you get it now?!?!!!”

What sensible forward thinking cutting edge leading nation is having a DEBATE on whether or not there should be VOTER ID?!?!!!! Like?!?!? They’re actually fighting NOT to have ppl present ID while voting for your leaders!!!!! Do you get it?!?!!!! Do you get it now?!?!!!

— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) February 2, 2026

Enten shared that, despite what Democrats keep saying, 83% of Americans are in favor of it.

John Berman: So voter ID, just so people understand, is the idea that someone shows a photo ID when they go to vote, when they go to cast their actual ballot, because there’s a separate discussion right now about needing a passport or a birth certificate to register to vote. But the polling is all on voter ID showing an ID to vote.

Harry Enten: Showing a photo ID to vote. And the American people are with Nicki Minaj because what are we talking about here? So take a look here. Favor Voter ID to vote. Look, I got all this polling on the screen going back since 2018. You’ll notice on all of it, it’s all north of 75%, 76%, 76%, 76%, 81%, and then 83% in the last year of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj. They favor photo ID to be able to vote.

John Berman: What about by party?

Harry Enten:  Yeah, normally you might expect, Hey, there’d be a big divide by party with Republicans really for it and Democrats really against it, but not really here.

I mean, just take a look here. Favor photo ID to vote. You got 95% of Republicans, pretty much all of them, but even 71% of Democrats favor photo ID to vote.

So again, Nicki Minaj posting that on X.And what you see is that the American people, actually, it’s not really all that controversial. The American people are with Nicki Minaj, whether they are Republican or even if they are Democrats, we’re talking about seven in 10 Democrats agreeing with Nicki Minaj that you, in fact, should show a voter photo ID to vote.

John Berman: What’s the racial breakdown?

Harry Enten: Okay, what’s the racial breakdown on this? Because I think a lot of people make the argument that people of non-white Americans have a harder time procuring a photo ID to vote.

But even here, take a look here. Favor photo ID to vote. 85% of White people favor it, 82% of Latino, 76% of Black Americans favor it. So the bottom line is this. Voter ID is not controversial in this country.

A photo ID to vote is not controversial in this country.

It is not controversial by party, and it is not controversial by race. The vast majority of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj that, in fact, you should have a photo ID to be able to vote.

John Berman: So something of a non-troversy, in other words.

Harry Enten: Very good. The alliteration of Mr. John Berman, that Harvard education paying off once again.

Watch:

Americans agree with Nicki Minaj when it comes to voter id.

83% of favor photo voter id to vote per Pew. This includes 70%+ of Democrats and Republicans, as well as 75%+ of Americans across races…. White, Black, and Latino.

It’s not controversial. pic.twitter.com/9Kocw85Uh8

The Clintons caved to House Oversight Chairman James Comer and agreed to publicly testify this month in the Committee’s Epstein investigation.

Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed to testify before the Oversight Committee after Chairman James Comer moved forward in holding them in criminal contempt of Congress.

“Republicans and Democrats on the Oversight Committee have been clear: no one is above the law—and that includes the Clintons. After delaying and defying duly issued subpoenas for six months, the House Oversight Committee moved swiftly to initiate contempt of Congress proceedings in response to their non-compliance,” Comer said.

“Once it became clear that we would hold them in contempt, the Clintons completely caved and will appear for transcribed, filmed depositions this month,” Comer said.

“We look forward to questioning the Clintons as part of our investigation into the horrific crimes of Epstein and Maxwell, to deliver transparency and accountability for the American people and for survivors,” Comer added.

The Clintons will testify on February 26 and 27.

The House Oversight Committee last month voted to hold the Clintons in contempt for defying congressional subpoenas in its Epstein probe.

Nine Democrats joined the Republicans and voted 38-4 to recommend holding Bill Clinton in contempt.

Three Democrats joined the Republicans and voted 28-15-1 to hold Hillary Clinton in contempt.

Comer called the Clintons to testify behind closed doors.

However, legal counsel for the Clintons said they will testify publicly.

At the 11th hour, James Comer asked for a camera, that’s fine. He can have 1,000 cameras. The Clintons will do this publicly.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday that Russia carried out a large-scale overnight attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure using a record number of ballistic missiles, one day before peace talks with Moscow and Washington are set to resume in Abu Dhabi.

Zelenskyy said the attack involved more than 70 missiles — among them 32 ballistic and 28 cruise — as well as more than 450 attack drones that targeted eight regions including Kyiv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Sumy, Vinnytsia, Odesa and Zaporizhzhia.

Ukraine’s State Emergency Service said five people were injured and three more were rescued in Kharkiv after a drone strike caused a fire in a residential high-rise building.

"The Russian army exploited the U.S. proposal to briefly halt strikes not to support diplomacy, but to stockpile missiles and wait until the coldest days of the year, when temperatures across large parts of Ukraine drop below -20°C (-4°F)," Zelenskyy wrote on X.

RUSSIA, UKRAINE TO DISCUSS TERRITORY AS TRUMP SAYS BOTH SIDES 'WANT TO MAKE A DEAL'

The large-scale strikes came after President Donald Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin had agreed to pause attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure for one week, as freezing temperatures caused widespread power and heating outages.

Trump announced the weeklong pause Thursday, but Russia resumed its attacks several days before the period was set to expire, striking a maternity ward in Zaporizhzhia and a bus of Ukrainian miners, leaving 12 people dead.

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
