Senior US and Iranian officials are set to resume negotiations after initial talks in Oman, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said. The discussions were described as a “good beginning” and “exclusively nuclear.” Delegates will return to their capitals for consultations.
Key developments:
• US officials seek to address Iran’s ballistic missile programme and support for regional armed groups.
• Talks follow US military buildup in response to Iran’s crackdown on nationwide protests, which human rights groups report killed thousands and led to over 50,000 arrests.
• Iran proposes concessions on uranium enrichment and highly enriched uranium transfer, while rejecting limitations on missiles and its Axis of Resistance alliances.
• US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasised that meaningful progress requires discussion beyond nuclear issues.
The negotiations occur amid rising regional concerns over potential conflict and economic sanctions.
