The US and Iran agreed to continue discussing controversial issues

The United States and Iran at negotiations in the capital of Oman agreed to continue the negotiation process, said the head of the Iranian delegation, the head of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Abbas Araqchi. Tehran Times writes about this. The place and time of the new meeting have not yet been determined. The minister described Friday's negotiations as "long and intense." “Today we held several rounds of consultations. We voiced our point of view, our concerns. The atmosphere during the discussion was good. In general, this is a good start, but further development depends on the results of consultations in both capitals,” he said. Mehr reported that negotiations in Muscat had ended. Representatives of both sides return to their capitals. Iranian media do not provide details about what topics the parties discussed. Initially, the Iranian delegation expressed its readiness to discuss the topic of the nuclear program. At the same time, the American side insisted on a broader agenda, including, in particular, the Iranian missile program and Tehran’s actions in the Middle East region. The consultations took place against the backdrop of the concentration of significant US forces near Iran.
