Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Hurst. The United States and Iran held indirect talks in the country of Oman on Iran's nuclear program, and they say they plan to meet again.

And Pierce-JANRAF reports there's more at stake than the nuclear issue. Iran insists that negotiations remain focused on its nuclear program, which it says is for peaceful

purposes. International regulators say they have not seen evidence Iran is building a bomb, but the U.S.

continues to accuse Iran of trying to build one. The Trump administration has made clear that what it

really wants is regime change. In addition to a military buildup,

backing threats against Iran, it's using financial sanctions and currency manipulation.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant said this week that the U.S. engineered a free fall of the Iranian

currency that sparked protests in Iran in December. At least 5,000 people

were believed killed, most of them protesters. Jane Arraf and Pierre News, Amman.

The State Department has confirmed it's removing posts from its official accounts on social media

platform X made for President Trump return to office in 2025. And Pierre Shannon Bond

reports the post will be internally archived but no longer easily accessible by the public.

State Department staff were told anyone who wants to see posts from the Obama, Biden,

or first Trump terms will have to file a Freedom of Information Act request, according to an

employee who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation. That's different from how the government

typically archives the online footprint of previous administrations. For example, X accounts for the

president and the White House are handed over to the new administration, and old posts moved to a publicly

available archive account. The State Department told NPR it wants to, quote, speak with one voice

on social media. The move comes as the Trump administration has removed wide swaths of information

from government websites. Shannon Bond, NPR News.
