Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, has traveled to Muscat for the fourth round of indirect talks with the U.S., facilitated by Oman, focusing on Iran’s nuclear program and regional security. Araqchi emphasized Iran’s undeniable right to enrich uranium and expressed hope for constructive outcomes despite challenges from inconsistent U.S. positions. He reaffirmed that Iran’s nuclear agenda is legally grounded and subject to IAEA oversight. Iran seeks trust-building measures while maintaining its core principles as non-negotiable. Araqchi believes a reasonable agreement on nuclear weapons is achievable, though unrealistic demands could impede negotiations. An expert team is already in Muscat for discussions.
In the aftermath of a deadly port explosion, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian faces pressure as hardline parliament members initiate impeachment proceedings against key ministers, Energy Minister Abbas Aliabadi and Transport Minister Farzaneh Sadeq.

The lack of a public response from Pezeshkian may be a strategic move to manage public outrage and political stability. The situation reflects tensions between government accountability and hardline factions, with implications for Pezeshkian’s administration and Iran’s political landscape.

The Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (PGCC) reaffirmed its claims against Iran regarding the three islands—Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb, and Abu Musa—and the Arash gas field in a statement following its 46th summit in Bahrain. The PGCC alleges that the islands belong to the UAE and condemned Iran’s actions as occupation. They criticized Iran’s construction projects and military exercises on the islands and called for negotiations or international adjudication. The PGCC also asserted that the Arash gas field lies within Kuwaiti waters, claiming that only Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have rights to its resources. The situation underscores ongoing regional tensions and the need for diplomatic resolution.
During a rally for the 46th anniversary of Iran’s Islamic Revolution, Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi rejected negotiations with the United States, particularly under Donald Trump, emphasizing Iran’s commitment to independence and sovereignty. He criticized the US for failing to honor agreements, notably its withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal, and stated that negotiating under pressure would imply surrender. Araghchi highlighted Iran’s resolve against foreign intervention and praised recent remarks by the country’s leader on the matter. He also linked the anniversary to the Palestinian struggle, condemning US policies in the region and reaffirming Iran’s support for Gaza’s resistance.
