Tehran, May 10 (IANS) Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has confirmed that the next round of indirect talks with the United States will be held in Oman on Sunday, adding the Omani side is expected to announce the time to start the negotiations.
He made the remarks in an interview with Shahrara newspaper on the sidelines of his visit to the northeastern Iranian city of Mashhad on Friday, while commenting on the Omani-mediated talks with the United States on Tehran’s nuclear program and the removal of Washington’s sanctions.
Araghchi said, “Our Omani friends asked our opinion about setting the next meeting date on Sunday, and we announced our consent. Apparently, they have spoken to the other side, and up to this moment, the negotiations are scheduled to be held on Sunday.”
The minister added that although Iran’s positions in the negotiations were principled and fixed, the US side was sending contradictory messages, emphasising that Iran would insist upon its “clear” positions, reports Xinhua news agency.
During the interview, Araghchi noted that he would visit Saudi Arabia and Qatar on Saturday, adding that he would hold consultations on regional issues and Iran-US indirect talks in Riyadh and take part in the Iran-Arab World Dialogue summit in Doha.
The delegations of Iran and the United States have held three rounds of indirect talks so far — the first and third in Muscat on April 12 and April 26, and the second in Rome on April 19.
A fourth round had been scheduled for May 3 in Rome but was postponed due to what Oman described as “logistical reasons.”
