Iran's FM confirms next round of talks with US to be held in Oman on Sunday
Tehran: Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has confirmed that the next round of indirect talks with the United States will be held in Oman on Sunday, adding the Omani side is expected to announce the time to start the negotiations. He made the remarks in an interview with Shahrara newspaper on the sidelines of his visit to the northeastern Iranian city of Mashhad on Friday, while commenting on the Omani-mediated talks with the United States on Tehran's nuclear program and the removal of Washington's sanctions. Araghchi said, "Our Omani friends asked our opinion about setting the next meeting date on Sunday, and we announced our consent. Apparently, they have spoken to the other side, and up to this moment, the negotiations are scheduled to be held on Sunday." The minister added that although Iran's positions in the negotiations were principled and fixed, the US side was sending contradictory messages, emphasising that Iran would insist upon its "clear" positions, reports Xinhua news agency. During the interview, Araghchi noted that he would visit Saudi Arabia and Qatar on Saturday, adding that he would hold consultations on regional issues and Iran-US indirect talks in Riyadh and take part in the Iran-Arab World Dialogue summit in Doha. The delegations of Iran and the United States have held three rounds of indirect talks so far -- the first and third in Muscat on April 12 and April 26, and the second in Rome on April 19. A fourth round had been scheduled for May 3 in Rome but was postponed due to what Oman described as "logistical reasons."

Iran's Top Diplomat Visits Riyadh, Doha Ahead of Nuclear Talks
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi will visit Saudi Arabia and Qatar on Saturday, a ministry spokesperson announced on Friday. He will participate in the Iran-Arab World Dialogue summit in Doha. This visit comes ahead of possible U.S.-Iran talks on Sunday, signaling a pivotal moment in regional diplomacy. A fourth round of nuclear talks between Iran and the United States will take place on Sunday in the capital of Oman. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump will visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates next week. Trump, who withdrew the U.S. from a 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers, has threatened to bomb Iran if no agreement is reached with his administration to resolve the long-standing dispute. Regional Tensions and Diplomatic Efforts The name of the body of water between Iran and the Arab states has long been a point of contention. The Trump administration plans to announce that the U.S. will officially call the Persian Gulf the Arabian Gulf during Trump's Middle East visit between 13 to 16 May. Arab Gulf leaders will likely welcome this move, while Iran will probably express anger. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi traveled to Saudi Arabia on Wednesday for talks that were expected to cover efforts to end fighting between the Israeli military and Iran-backed groups in Gaza and Lebanon. Araghchi expressed hope that these consultations could lead to better conditions for Palestine and Lebanon and establish peace in the region. High-Level Meetings and Regional Developments Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian received Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan in the Qatari capital. The pair discussed the latest regional and international developments. Senior Saudi and Iranian officials attended the meeting, highlighting the ongoing diplomatic efforts between the two nations. As Iran's Foreign Minister embarks on this diplomatic mission, the region watches closely. The outcomes of these talks could significantly impact the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East. With high-level meetings and ongoing negotiations, the international community remains hopeful for a peaceful resolution to the long-standing disputes in the region. Short link : Post Views: 144
