Iran agreed to hold a fourth round of nuclear negotiations with the United States on Sunday (11) in Oman, said the country’s foreign minister, Araqchi Abbas, on Friday, adding that negotiations were advancing.
US President Donald Trump, who removed Washington from a 2015 agreement between Tehran and world powers designed to contain his nuclear activity, threatened to bombard Iran if no new agreement is achieved to resolve the long unresolved dispute.
Western countries say the Iranian nuclear program, which Tehran accelerated after the US departure from the now dying 2015 agreement, is focused on weapon production, while Iran insists that it is purely for civil purposes.
“Negotiations are advancing and, of course, the more we advance, the more consultations and revisions they are needed,” Araqchi said in statements by Iranian state media.
“Delegations need more time to analyze the questions raised. But the important thing is that we are on a way of advancement and gradually entering the details.”
The fourth round of indirect negotiations, initially scheduled on May 3 in Rome, was postponed, with the mediator Oman claiming “logistics reasons.”
Araqchi said his planned visit to Qatar and Saudi Arabia on Saturday (10) was aligned with “continuous consultations” with neighboring countries to “address their concerns and mutual interests” about the nuclear issue.
