On April 12, 2025, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi led a delegation to Muscat, Oman, for indirect nuclear talks with U.S. officials, mediated by Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Albusaidi. The two-and-a-half-hour meeting concluded with both sides exchanging positions on Iran's nuclear program and sanctions. A brief face-to-face interaction occurred between Araghchi and U.S. Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff. Iranian officials described the meeting as both an opportunity and a test, emphasizing their commitment to diplomacy. The discussions are set to resume next week. President Donald Trump referred to the talks as a "very big meeting," expressing hope for a successful outcome. Previously, Tehran had rejected direct negotiations with the U.S. (PC: ABC)
