US-Iran Nuclear Talks Resume in Positive Atmosphere, More Negotiations Next Week | WPN World People News

The United States and Iran held talks in Oman on the 13th regarding Tehran's escalating nuclear program. Both sides described the dialogue as “positive” and “constructive,” and agreed to continue discussions next Saturday.

According to Reuters, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told Iran’s state television, “I believe we are very close to establishing a basis for negotiations. If we can finalize this foundation next week, it would be a major breakthrough and could lead to substantive talks.”

Araqchi noted that the US-Iran talks were conducted in an “efficient, calm, and positive” atmosphere. This marks the first face-to-face negotiation between the two nations during President Donald Trump’s administration. He also revealed that both sides had agreed to maintain dialogue and could meet again next Saturday, stressing that both Iran and the US are seeking to reach an agreement in the short term, rather than engage in prolonged and vague negotiations.

The White House also released a statement calling the meeting “highly positive and constructive.” Participants included US Middle East envoy Steven Witkoff, the US ambassador to Oman, and Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi. The White House stated, “Despite the complexity of the issues, today’s direct communication between Envoy Witkoff and the Iranian side marks an important step toward a mutually beneficial outcome. Both parties have agreed to reconvene next Saturday.”
