Foreign Ministry: Iran FM heads to Oman for nuclear talks with US
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei says Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has departed for Oman at the head of a diplomatic delegation to hold nuclear talks with the US, aimed at achieving a just, honorable and mutually acceptable understanding that safeguards Iran’s national interests.
“Araghchi, the foreign minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has travelled to Muscat at the head of a diplomatic delegation to conduct nuclear negotiations with the United States,” Baghaei said in a post on the social media platform X on Thursday.
He said the talks would be carried out “with authority and with the aim of reaching a just, mutually acceptable and honorable understanding regarding the nuclear issue.”
“This diplomatic engagement is being conducted with strength and with the objective of achieving a fair, mutually satisfactory and dignified agreement,” Baghaei said.
He added that “bitter past experiences, including previous breaches of commitments, the military aggression in June and foreign interventions in January, are before our eyes,” stressing that Iran “has always considered itself obliged to demand the rights of the Iranian nation.”
“At the same time, we have a responsibility not to miss any opportunity to use diplomacy to secure the interests of the Iranian people and to safeguard peace and calm in the region,” he said.
Baghaei said Iran appreciated “all friendly neighboring and regional countries that, with responsibility and concern, played a role in shaping this process,” and expressed hope that “the American side will also participate in this process with responsibility, realism and seriousness.”
Earlier, Araghchi said in a post on X that “nuclear negotiations with the United States will be held in Muscat on Friday at around 10 a.m.”
“I thank our Omani brothers for providing all the necessary arrangements,” he said.
Iran announced on Tuesday that it had requested the transfer of the venue of the talks from Istanbul to Oman, saying the negotiations would be held on a bilateral basis “so that the focus remains solely on nuclear issues.”
