Upcoming Fourth Round of Indirect Talks with U.S. Set for Sunday: What to Expect

The upcoming fourth round of indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States is set to take place on Sunday, May 11. These discussions, mediated by Oman, aim to address critical issues and advance diplomatic relations.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi confirmed on Friday that Oman has reached out to Iran to confirm its willingness to proceed with the scheduled date for the negotiations. He stated:

“We conveyed that we agree [on the date]. Apparently, (the Omanis) have talked to the [U.S.] side as well, and as of now, the negotiations are scheduled to be held on Sunday,” Araqchi said.

He also noted that:

“Regarding the start time of the negotiations, we are awaiting coordination by the Omani side,” he added.

Discussing the progress of the ongoing negotiations, Araqchi mentioned:

“In any case, the negotiations are moving forward, and it is natural that the more progress we make, the more consultations and reviews we will need; in addition, the delegations need more time to review the issues raised. But the important point is that we are moving forward in a way that gradually gets into the details.”

He emphasized that Iran’s positions in the talks are principled and consistent, stating:

“We are moving along the path of the principles that have been designed, but we receive contradictory messages from the other side; different people express different opinions. Sometimes, even the words that one person has made are retracted the same day or the next day.”

This ongoing dialogue is crucial for both nations as they seek to stabilize relations and address mutual concerns. As the situation develops, updates will continue to be provided.
