Iran, US Set for Indirect Nuclear Talks in Oman

Indirect negotiations between Iran and the United States are set to begin on April 12 in Oman, led by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, with Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi mediating. Araghchi characterized the talks as both a significant opportunity and a test for the U.S., emphasizing that the outcome depends on America's approach. This marks the first high-level dialogue since the U.S. withdrew from the nuclear deal in 2018. Reports suggest that Iran's leadership may be open to direct talks contingent on the success of the indirect negotiations. U.S. President Trump highlighted the importance of the discussions, reiterating concerns over Iran's nuclear ambitions. The international community is closely watching these developments as they could reshape future U.S.-Iran relations.
