High-level discussions between the United States and Iran regarding Tehran's nuclear program are scheduled to recommence on Sunday in Oman, as confirmed by the country's foreign minister, Bad Albusaidi, on social media. This upcoming round of talks will mark the sixth meeting between the two nations since April, with the aim of reaching a new agreement to replace the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action that the U.S. withdrew from during the Trump administration.
A U.S. official has verified that the American delegation plans to participate in the talks, despite escalating tensions in the region. Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi expressed optimism about the potential for a deal, emphasizing that Iran is willing to continue its enrichment program under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
President Trump has reiterated his stance against Iran possessing nuclear weapons, stating that any future agreement should prohibit uranium enrichment. However, Araghchi remains hopeful that a mutually beneficial resolution can be swiftly achieved. He believes that an agreement ensuring the peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear activities is within reach as discussions resume this weekend.
