U.S. and Iranian delegations convened in Muscat for what Oman’s foreign minister characterised as “very serious talks… It was useful to clarify Iranian and American thinking and identify areas for possible progress”. He added: “We aim to reconvene in due course, with the result to be considered carefully in Tehran and Washington”. Iran’s foreign minister said the meetings were a “good start… The decision on how to proceed with the negotiations will be made after consultation with the capitals”. He further asserted: “Our talks are focused solely on the nuclear issue, and we are not engaging with the Americans on any other subject”.
