WANA (Feb 06) – The Iranian negotiating delegation, headed by Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi, departed Tehran on Thursday evening, February 5, for Muscat, the capital of Oman, to take part in a new round of nuclear talks with the United States.
According to the preliminary schedule, the negotiations are set to begin today at 10:00 a.m. local time in Oman (9:30 a.m. Tehran time). In recent years, Oman has repeatedly played a facilitating role by hosting sensitive diplomatic talks between different parties.
The Iranian delegation includes Majid Takht-Ravanchi, Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs; Kazem Gharibabadi, Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs; Ghanbari, Deputy for Economic Diplomacy; and Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
An Iranian member of the negotiating team emphasized that the talks will focus exclusively on nuclear issues, adding that media speculation about the inclusion of other topics on the agenda is not accurate.
