Iran’s foreign minister met his Omani counterpart as renewed diplomatic efforts continued around indirect nuclear talks with the United States. The third round of indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States has begun. The process opened with a meeting between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Albusaidi.
This meeting was part of broader efforts to reduce tensions. It focused on Iran’s nuclear program and the removal of economic sanctions. Both issues remain central to the ongoing talks between Tehran and Washington. During the discussion, Araghchi presented Iran’s views in clear terms. He explained Tehran’s expectations ahead of further indirect contacts with the United States. According to him, meaningful progress requires seriousness and consistency from all sides. He also warned that mixed signals could weaken trust.
At the same time, Araghchi traveled to Geneva for the third round of negotiations. There, intermediaries are expected to pass messages between Iranian and U.S. representatives. Iranian officials say the country remains committed to diplomacy. However, they stress that actions must match words. In addition, the Iranian foreign minister expressed appreciation for Oman and its mediating role. He praised Muscat for helping maintain dialogue and ease communication. Iran has often described Oman as a trusted and balanced partner.
From the Omani side, Albusaidi welcomed Iran’s steady diplomatic approach. He said dialogue remains the most effective way to address difficult issues. In his view, confrontation only deepens disagreements. Furthermore, the Omani foreign minister confirmed his country’s readiness to continue offering support. Oman, he said, is prepared to assist all parties in moving the talks forward. Cooperation and patience, he added, are essential for success.
Looking ahead, Albusaidi voiced hope that the negotiations would produce positive results. He said commitment and mutual respect could help achieve outcomes acceptable to both sides. The indirect talks come amid renewed international efforts to resolve disputes over Iran’s nuclear activities and sanctions. As discussions continue, Oman’s role as a mediator remains important in keeping the diplomatic process alive and on track.
