US and Iran agree to hold nuclear talks in Oman on Friday
The United States and Iran have agreed to hold talks on the ongoing nuclear deal in Oman on Friday. The meeting will involve representatives from both nations to discuss the possibility of reviving the nuclear agreement that the US withdrew from in 2018.
The decision to convene in Oman, a neutral ground, comes after months of indirect negotiations facilitated by European intermediaries. Both parties have expressed a willingness to engage in dialogue to address concerns and reach a diplomatic solution.
The US delegation, led by special envoy for Iran Robert Malley, aims to address Iran’s increasing uranium enrichment and reaffirm America’s commitment to preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Meanwhile, Iran, represented by Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, seeks sanctions relief and the restoration of economic benefits promised in the initial agreement.
The talks signal a potential turning point in the strained relations between the two nations, offering a glimmer of hope for a diplomatic resolution to the long-standing nuclear issue. However, both sides remain cautious as significant hurdles and distrust need to be overcome for any substantive progress to be made.
