Expert-level Iran-U.S. talks, initially scheduled for Wednesday, have been moved to Saturday. The talks will take place in Oman. This shift coincides with a third round of high-level nuclear discussions.
Iran and the United States previously agreed to develop a framework for a potential nuclear deal. This agreement followed discussions in Rome, which a U.S. official described as showing "very good progress." The meeting in Oman aims to further these discussions.
The purpose of the meeting is to review the work of experts and assess alignment with potential agreement principles. Top U.S. and Iranian negotiators will participate. The talks are crucial as Western powers suspect Iran of pursuing nuclear weapon capabilities, a claim Tehran denies.
Esmaeil Baghaei, Iran's foreign ministry spokesman, confirmed the change in schedule. The discussions are part of indirect talks between the two sides. Iran insists its uranium enrichment program is for peaceful purposes.
The outcome of these talks could significantly impact international sanctions against Iran. Iran has expressed willingness to discuss limited curbs on its atomic activity. The global community will be closely watching for any breakthroughs that could lead to a new nuclear agreement.
