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.

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.”
