While appearing to be brief, lasting only 2-3 hours, and indirect despite claims by the Trump Administration that the talks would be direct between the delegations; today’s nuclear talks in Oman between the United States and Iran are being described by both countries as “positive” in scope. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi described today’s negotiations with U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff as a “constructive and promising round of indirect talks,” while the White House described them as “very positive and constructive” adding that they have agreed to additional discussions next Saturday.
