Iran’s foreign minister confirms Oman-brokered talks ongoing with US
Iran’s acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri said Monday that his government was engaged in negotiations with arch-foe the United States hosted by the Gulf sultanate of Oman.
Asked about the issue at a news conference during a visit to Beirut, Bagheri said, “We have always continued out negotiations… and they have never stopped.”
Washington and Tehran have not had direct diplomatic relations since the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran.
The British daily Financial Times reported in March that Bagheri was involved in indirect talks with the United States in Oman in early 2024, against the backdrop of heightened regional tensions over the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.
