Iran’s top diplomat Abbas Araghchi met with his Omani counterpart in Muscat this morning ahead of Oman-mediated talks with the United States on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.

Araghchi and Badr al-Busaidi “discussed the most important bilateral, regional, and international issues,” reported Iran’s semi-official Mehr News Agency, which published a photo of the two diplomats seated at a table with their national flags on it.

Oman previously served as a mediator between Iran and the United States in nuclear negotiations held in 2025, which were interrupted in June by the 12-day Israel-Iran war that was briefly joined by the US military.
