Iran, USA. We have begun negotiations in Oman about Tehran

Submitted from Iran and the United States Negotiations began on Saturday In Oman about the nuclear program that advances rapidly from Tehran.

It is not likely that any general agreement is immediately, but the bets of the negotiations could not be higher for these two nations that are approaching in half a century of enmity. President Trump has repeatedly threatened to release air attacks aimed at Iran’s nuclear program if an agreement is not reached. Iranian officials warn more and more that they could pursue a nuclear weapon with their enriched uranium arsenal to close levels of degree of weapons.

The flight follow -up data analyzed by News showed a private plane from the Pulkovo airport in San Petersburg, Russia, they arrived in Oman on Saturday morning. The United States Envoy of the United States, Steve Witkoff, had just met Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday.

Meanwhile, Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs published images of Tehran’s main diplomat, Abbas Araghchi, meeting with Omaní Foreign Minister Badr Al-Busidi. Irna’s State News Agency, administered by Iran, reported that Araghchi provided the “position and key points of Iran so that conversations are transmitted to the side of the United States.”

Irna’s report suggested that the meeting would be held later on Saturday.

News’s journalists saw a convoy that is believed to take Witkoff leaving the Omaní Foreign Ministry and then accelerates on the outskirts of Muscat. The convoy entered a complex and a few minutes later, the spokesman of the Foreign Ministry of Iran, Esmail Baghaei, wrote on the social platform X that the “indirect conversations” had begun.

“These conversations will be held in a place planned by the Omeani host, with representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States sitting in the halls and sides, transmitting their views and positions with each other through the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Omaní,” Baghaei wrote.

Araghchi previously spoke with Iranian journalists.

“If there is enough will on both sides, we will decide on a schedule. But it is still too early to talk about that,” said Araghchi, in an audio clip published by Irna. “What is clear now is that the negotiations are indirect and, in our opinion, only on the nuclear issue, and will be carried out with the necessary will to reach an agreement that is on equal terms and leads to ensure the national interests of the Iranian people.”

Trump and Witkoff have described conversations as “direct.”

“I think our position begins with the dismantling of your program. That is our position today,” Witkoff told Wall Street Journal before his trip. “That does not mean, by the way, that in the margin we will not find other ways to find commitment between the two countries.”

He added: “Where our red line will be, there can be no weapons of its nuclear capacity.”

While the US side can offer relief relief for Iran’s beaten economy, it is not clear how much they will be willing to admit. According to the 2015 nuclear agreement, Iran could only maintain a small enriched uranium reserve at 3.67%. Today, the Tehran Reserve could allow it to build multiple nuclear weapons if it decides and has some enriched material up to 60%, at a short and technical pace of the levels of weapons. Judging by negotiations since Trump unilaterally withdrew the United States from the agreement in 2018, Iran will probably request to continue enriching uranium up to at least 20%.

One thing that will not do is give up your program completely. That makes the proposal of the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of a so-called Libyan solution: “You enter, you explode the facilities, dismantle all teams, under US supervision, US execution” -A work without work.

Iran is looking for a “real and fair” agreement with the United States In its nuclear program, a senior assistant of the supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Friday, before the conversations of this weekend.

“Far from presenting a show and simply talking in front of the cameras, Tehran is looking for a real and fair agreement, the important and implementable proposals are ready,” said Khamenei’s advisor Ali Shamkhani, in a publication on X.
