Iran: We’re Reviewing Omani Proposal Aimed at Breaking Deadlock in US Talks

By Staff, Agencies

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed that his country is reviewing a number of approaches put forwarded by Omani mediators towards removing the standing obstacles lying in the way of the indirect talks with the United States.

The top diplomat made the remarks in the capital Tehran on Sunday on the sidelines of an event held to mark the international Africa Day.

The official, however, did not comment on the nature of the potential courses of action that had been proposed by Muscat.

The fifth round of indirect talks between Iran and the United States concluded in Rome on May 23, 2025.

Subsequently, Omani Foreign Minister Sayyed Badral-Busaidi, acting as mediator, noted that the discussions yielded "some but not conclusive progress". He, nevertheless, expressed hope that clarifying remaining issues could lead to a “sustainable and honorable agreement.”

Araghchi, himself, has described the recent negotiations as "one of the most professional" rounds to date, highlighting a "better and clearer understanding" of the Islamic Republic's positions by the American side.
