WANA (Feb 10) – Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, met on Tuesday evening with Mohammed Abdulsalam, spokesman for Yemen’s Ansarallah movement, during his visit to Oman.

 

Larijani traveled to Muscat as part of Iran’s regular consultations with Oman, focusing on regional developments, strengthening bilateral relations, and exchanging views on key political and security issues, particularly Iran’s nuclear negotiations.

 

Earlier on Tuesday, Larijani held a meeting lasting more than three hours with Sultan Haitham bin Tariq of Oman. According to sources close to the Iranian delegation, the talks were held in a “positive and constructive” atmosphere.

 

Larijani also met with Omani Foreign Minister Badr Al Busaidi as part of his visit.

 

Larijani has previously traveled to Oman on multiple occasions and held talks with senior Omani officials, including the Sultan and the foreign minister.

 

These meetings have largely focused on regional developments, the need to reduce tensions in West Asia, and the use of diplomacy and dialogue to manage disputes and crises, particularly at the regional level.

 

Over the past decade, Oman has played an active role in facilitating indirect talks between Iran and the United States and in efforts to reduce tensions, maintaining a balanced approach to enable message exchanges and reduce misunderstandings between Tehran and Washington.

 

Muscat has been regarded by Iran as one of the key and trusted diplomatic channels on nuclear-related issues and other areas of disagreement.

 

During Larijani’s visit, discussions are expected to cover the latest regional political and security developments, as well as indirect Iran-U.S. talks mediated by Oman, following earlier negotiations led by Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi.

 

Exchanges of views on the progress of these talks, Oman’s constructive role, and the outlook for the continuation of negotiations between Iran and the United States are also among the key topics on the agenda.

 

Larijani is scheduled to travel to Qatar after concluding his visit to Oman.
