Iran, Oman Foreign Ministers Hold Phone Talks on Iran-U.S. Talks
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi and his Omani counterpart, Sayyid Badr bin Hamad bin Hamood Albusaidi, reviewed the trajectory of ongoing diplomatic efforts, according to a statement issued by Iran's Foreign Ministry. The two officials exchanged assessments on the most recent developments surrounding the Iran-U.S. negotiating process, the first two rounds of which unfolded in Muscat — Oman's capital — and Geneva, Switzerland, on Feb. 6 and Feb. 17, respectively.
Araghchi signaled earlier Sunday that a fresh round of face-to-face diplomacy is on the horizon. Speaking on a TV program, he said he would probably meet U.S. president's special envoy Steve Witkoff in Geneva on Thursday to discuss the draft proposal of a possible nuclear deal to be prepared by Tehran.
The anticipated third round of talks arrives at a particularly volatile moment. Tensions between Tehran and Washington have intensified significantly, compounded by a growing U.S. military buildup across West Asia — factors that analysts warn could complicate efforts to reach any preliminary framework agreement.
Oman has played a pivotal quiet-diplomacy role throughout the process, with Muscat serving as the launchpad for the first direct engagement between the two longtime adversaries.
