Foreign Minister Lands in Muscat for Crucial Third Round of Indirect U.S. Talks

In a significant development, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has arrived in Muscat for a crucial third round of indirect talks with the United States, aimed at addressing nuclear energy issues. These discussions are expected to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Iran’s nuclear program and its relationship with the international community.

He stated:

“We are resolved to secure our nation’s legitimate & lawful right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes while taking reasonable steps to demonstrate that our program is entirely peaceful.”

“We’ll see how serious & prepared is the other side to go for a fair and realistic deal.”

The ongoing indirect talks between Iran and the U.S. mark a crucial diplomatic effort, with the first round occurring on April 12 in Muscat and the second round taking place in Rome the following week. Both discussions were facilitated by Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi.
