During the talks, Albusaidi reviewed the Iranian side’s views and proposals alongside the responses and questions raised by the U.S. negotiating team. Discussions focused on key aspects of Iran’s nuclear program, as well as the guarantees required to achieve a comprehensive and satisfactory agreement covering all technical and oversight dimensions of the file.

 

Describing the atmosphere as constructive, Albusaidi emphasized that efforts are continuing to create favorable conditions for progress. He noted that negotiators are showing an unprecedented willingness to consider new and creative ideas in pursuit of a fair agreement backed by sustainable guarantees.

 

Earlier in the day, Albusaidi also met in Geneva with Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s foreign minister. According to the statement, the two sides examined Iran’s proposals aimed at reaching an agreement on its nuclear program, with Oman reaffirming its commitment to supporting dialogue and facilitating mutually acceptable solutions.

 

The current round of negotiations comes nearly eight months after talks were suspended. The process continues indirectly, with Oman acting as mediator. The third round is being held in Geneva, following two previous rounds in Muscat and Geneva.
