Tehran: Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said that the technical talks with US experts initially scheduled for Wednesday in Oman will be held on Saturday.
“Based on Oman’s suggestion and as agreed by the Iranian and US delegations, the technical consultation meeting, supposed to be held on Wednesday within the framework of the indirect talks between the two sides, was postponed to Saturday,” Baghaei told reporters, according to a statement by the ministry.
Iran and the United States held the second round of indirect talks on Tehran’s nuclear program and the removal of Washington’s sanctions in Rome on April 19, with mediation from Oman. The first round took place in Muscat on April 12, and a third session is scheduled to be held in the Omani capital again this coming Saturday, Xinhua news agency reported.
Shortly after the Rome talks, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said that technical negotiations at the expert level were arranged, where the details of a potential agreement’s framework may be discussed. It added that the third session would review the result of the experts’ work.
Earlier on Tuesday, Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi warned on social media platform X that certain special interest groups are struggling to disrupt the indirect negotiations between Tehran and Washington by “smearing negotiators and goading the US administration into making maximalist demands,” without specifying the exact groups.
