Iran says it has concluded the fourth round of nuclear talks with the United States, describing it as “difficult.”
“The fourth round of indirect Iran-US negotiations is concluded; difficult but useful talks to better understand each other’s positions and to find reasonable and realistic ways to address the differences,” says foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei in a post on X.
A senior US official, meanwhile, describes the latest talks with Iran over its nuclear program positively, saying another round would take place soon.
The discussions in Oman led by US special envoy Steve Witkoff “were again both direct and indirect, and lasted over 3 hours,” a senior administration official says, speaking on condition of anonymity.
“Agreement was reached to move forward with the talks to continue working through technical elements. We are encouraged by today’s outcome and look forward to our next meeting, which will happen in the near future,” the official adds.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
