🇮🇷🌍 High-stakes diplomacy alert! Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi announced that indirect talks with the U.S. will resume this Sunday in Oman, with Muscat playing mediator. The focus? Lifting Washington’s sanctions and navigating Iran’s nuclear program—a saga that's kept the world on its toes.
Behind the Scenes: Dates, Delays, and Diplomacy
Araghchi shared that Oman proposed Sunday for the talks, and Iran agreed, but he cautioned that the U.S. has been sending “contradictory messages.” Meanwhile, the negotiations—which began in April—have seen three rounds so far, including discussions in Rome and Muscat. A fourth meeting was postponed in May due to “logistical reasons,” according to Omani officials.
What’s Next for the Region?
Before heading to Oman, Araghchi will make pit stops in Saudi Arabia and Qatar to discuss regional issues and the Iran-U.S. talks. He’ll also join the Iran-Arab World Dialogue summit in Doha. Will these moves smooth tensions or add new wrinkles? Stay tuned.
