Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Majid Takht-e-Ravanchi briefed Parliament on the first round of indirect negotiations between Tehran and Washington, held in Oman on Saturday. He stated that the next round of talks will take place in Europe.
He noted that Oman will continue to serve as a mediator in the Iran–U.S. talks, which were "limited to nuclear and sanctions-related issues."
According to Takht-e-Ravanchi, the U.S. side stated that it was serious about the negotiations and had no intention of pursuing war. Washington also expressed its readiness to address Iran’s concerns, showed willingness to invest in Iran, and reiterated its commitment to resolving the outstanding issues.
On the outcomes of the meeting in Oman, both the Iranians and the Americans described the negotiations as positive and constructive.
Rafael Grossi, Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has announced that he will visit Tehran soon.
“Continued engagement and cooperation with the Agency are essential at a time when diplomatic solutions are urgently needed,” Grossi wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday. He also noted that he had received the credentials of Iran’s new Ambassador to the IAEA, Reza Najafi.
Meanwhile, Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi stated on Sunday that Grossi is expected to arrive in Tehran on Wednesday.
