As Iran-US nuclear talks take place in Oman, hopes begin to falter since last week

Almost Heaven

Well-known
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff are in Oman for another round of indirect talks.

This is the third meeting. The first meeting also took place in Oman in April. The second meeting took place on April 19 in Rome. While hopes were high at the first and second meetings, some of those hopes appeared to fade in the last week.

Iran has sought to balance these hopes by working with Russia and China. Iran is also seeking to mediate between India and Pakistan after a terror attack on tourists in Kashmir.
“Representatives from Iran and the United States commenced the third round of indirect negotiations in Muscat, Oman, focusing on the lifting of anti-Iran sanctions,” Iran’s state media IRNA said on April 26.

Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad bin Hamood Albusaidi is mediating the discussions, which center on disputes related to Iran’s nuclear program, IRNA noted.
“This round of talks includes expert and technical discussions. The expert delegation is being led by Majid Takht-e-Ravanchi, Deputy for Political Affairs, and Kazem Gharibabadi, Deputy for Legal and International Affairs, both from the Iranian Foreign Ministry.”

US, Iran to discus "technical issues" of a nuclear deal in third round of talks

The third round of talks is expected to deal with “technical issues.” This could be more complex than the first two rounds of talks, which were kind of a way for both sides to judge if the other is serious.
