RT.com \u2013 April 13, 2025<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Iran and the United States held their first diplomatic engagement in years on Saturday in the Omani capital of Muscat, with discussions focused on Tehran\u2019s nuclear program and the potential easing of US sanctions.<\/p>\n

The two-and-a-half-hour talks were led by Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi and White House Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff.<\/p>\n

Although the negotiations were conducted indirectly through Omani mediation, the heads of the two delegations \u2013 Araghchi and Witkoff \u2013 briefly spoke face-to-face in the presence of Oman\u2019s Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi after the formal talks concluded.<\/p>\n

Addressing reporters in Muscat, Araghchi described the first round of negotiations as \u201cconstructive\u201d<\/em> and held in a \u201ccalm and very respectful atmosphere.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cNo inappropriate language was used, and the two sides demonstrated their commitment to advancing the talks until the achievement of a mutually favorable agreement from an equal position,\u201d<\/em> the Iranian minister said.<\/p>\n

According to Araghchi, both sides aim to outline a general framework for a future agreement in the next round of talks. He indicated that the second meeting is scheduled for April 19, although it may not take place in Muscat.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the next round of the talks, we will try to enter the negotiations\u2019 agenda, which will of course have a timetable alongside it,\u201d<\/em> he said, expressing hope that the two sides could finalize a basis for starting \u201creal talks\u201d<\/em> soon.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Saturday night, President Donald Trump said the talks with Tehran \u201care going okay.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

“Nothing matters until you get it done, so I don\u2019t like talking about it. But it\u2019s going okay. The Iran situation is going pretty good.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the White House emphasized that \u2013 despite Tehran\u2019s insistence on indirect talks \u2013 Witkoff met Araghchi face-to-face, calling the\u00a0\u201cdirect communication a step forward in achieving a mutually beneficial outcome.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Witkoff, a close confidant of President Trump and Washington\u2019s lead negotiator with Moscow, has also played a prominent role in regional diplomacy. Even before Trump took office, Witkoff was credited with allegedly convincing Israel to agree to a Gaza truce.<\/p>\n

The next round of negotiations with Iran is expected to take place on April 19. While both sides have expressed cautious optimism, analysts noted that significant challenges remain. Iranian officials have publicly opposed major concessions, while President Trump has reportedly given negotiators a two-month deadline, warning of possible military action if talks fail.<\/p>\n
