Iran, US to resume talks in Oman to narrow gaps over new nuclear deal

26/4/2025 13:00

Top Iranian and U.S. negotiators will meet again on Saturday to hammer out a new deal curbing Tehran's advancing nuclear programme, while U.S. President Donald Trump signalled confidence in clinching a new pact that would block Iran's path to a nuclear bomb.



Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi will negotiate indirectly with Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff in Muscat through Omani mediators, a week after a second round in Rome that both sides described as constructive.



Talks are set to start at expert-level, which will begin drawing up a framework for a potential nuclear deal, ahead of an indirect meeting between the lead negotiators.
