Iran-U.S. Indirect Talks Yield Progress in Oman-Mediated Breakthrough


(MENAFN) Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi characterized Friday's indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States, facilitated by Oman in Muscat, as "very serious" and "useful."

In a statement posted to social media platform X, Al Busaidi said the discussions helped clarify each side's position and identify potential areas for progress.

He added that the parties "aim to reconvene in due course, with the results to be considered carefully in Tehran and Washington."

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi mirrored the assessment, describing the talks as "a good start," with both sides agreeing to continue negotiations in the future, an Iranian news agency reported.

The diplomatic engagement unfolded against escalating regional volatility, particularly between Washington and Tehran, marked by recent U.S. military reinforcement throughout the Middle East and Iran's intensified defense preparations.
