Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi confirmed the upcoming talks with the United States on Saturday, but he insisted the discussions in Oman would be indirect. Meantime, experts from Russia, China and Iran will come together today to discuss Iran's nuclear programme.

“Iran and the United States will meet in Oman on Saturday for indirect high-level talks,” Abbas Araqchi wrote on platform X. “It is as much an opportunity as it is a test. The ball is in America’s court.”

On March 7, Trump announced that he had sent a letter to Iran calling for nuclear negotiations. In responce, Tehran rejected direct talks with Washington over "its contradictory and hostile approach" but remains open to indirect negotiations.

Meanwhile, Iran, Russia, and China are also holding consultations on the nuclear issue in Moscow.

“We have a tripartite meeting in Moscow, where China, Russia, and Iran will discuss various aspects related to the nuclear issue, the Iran deal, and Resolution 2231,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said at a press conference on Monday.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova confirmed that the discussion will be hosted in Moscow but added that the meeting will be held at the expert level.
