  • Negotiation Leadership: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi is leading the talks with the U.S. delegation.
  • U.S. Delegation: The American team is headed by President’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff.
  • Location and Mediation: The discussions are being held in Muscat, Oman, which is facilitating the dialogue.
  • Focus of Talks: The negotiations center around Iran’s nuclear program and the potential lifting of sanctions.
  • 2015 Agreement Context: The discussions aim to establish a new agreement to replace the 2015 landmark deal, from which the U.S. withdrew during Trump’s presidency.

President Pezeshkian further stated that his administration will not tie the livelihood and well-being of the Iranian people to these negotiations with the U.S. This commitment reflects Iran’s determination to maintain its sovereignty and protect its citizens’ interests amidst complex international relations.
