Neither Iran nor the United States want talks that “drag on forever,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says after a first round of discussions with US envoy Steve Witkoff.
“Neither we nor the other party want fruitless negotiations, discussions for discussions’ sake, time wasting or talks that drag on forever,” Araghchi tells Iranian state television, adding that the next round of talks was set for next Saturday.
He adds that the location of next weekend’s talks may not be in Oman, but will still take place under Omani intermediation.
