Iran’s FM to pay visit to Saudi Arabia and Qatar

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi will visit Saudi Arabia and Qatar on Saturday to attend the Iran-Arab World Dialogue summit in Doha, as preparations continue for a possible fourth round of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks in Oman over the weekend.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi is scheduled to travel to Saudi Arabia and Qatar on Saturday and will take part in the Iran-Arab World Dialogue summit in Doha, according to a Foreign Ministry spokesperson. His visit comes just ahead of a likely fourth round of nuclear talks between Iran and the United States, expected to take place this weekend in Oman’s capital.

The renewed diplomatic activity follows ongoing efforts to resolve tensions over Iran’s nuclear program. U.S. President Donald Trump, who withdrew from the 2015 nuclear accord, is also set to visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates next week.

Amid speculation about the upcoming talks, Trump has stated that his administration is seeking a resolution but continues to stress the need for a firm agreement.
