Iran’s top diplomat Abbas Araghchi arrived in Oman yesterday ahead of fresh nuclear talks with the United States, after both sides said progress had been made in previous rounds.

The local Mehr news agency reported Araghchi had arrived in the Omani capital Muscat for Saturday’s negotiations, releasing a brief video showing the foreign minister disembarking from an Iranian government plane.

Araghchi will be leading what ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei described as a delegation of diplomats and technical experts for indirect discussions with the US side.

Iran’s top diplomat was a negotiator of the landmark nuclear accord abandoned by Trump during his first term in 2018.

Araghchi refused to discuss the talks as he signed copies of an Arabic translation of his book, “The Power of Negotiation” at a book fair in Muscat on Friday.
