Iran’s Foreign Ministry says high-level talks were conducted in ‘constructive atmosphere and based on mutual respect’.
Tehran, Iran – Delegates from the United States and Iran agreed to hold more talks next week after concluding “indirect” nuclear negotiations in the Omani capital, Muscat.
Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs described Saturday’s talks as having been conducted in a “constructive atmosphere and based on mutual respect”, and said chief negotiators “spoke for several minutes in the presence of the Omani Foreign Minister while leaving the negotiations venue”.
Special Envoy Steve Witkoff headed the US delegation, while the Iranians were led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. He was accompanied by his deputy for political affairs Majid Takht-Ravanchi, deputy for international affairs Kazem Gharibabadi, and Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei.
Omani Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad al-Busaidi acted as chief mediator, taking messages between the delegations who were sitting in separate rooms.
While Trump and his officials had insisted the talks would be “direct” and “in the same room”, Tehran had stressed that the negotiations would be indirect.
