Former Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif expressed optimism on Tuesday regarding upcoming indirect talks between Iran and the United States, urging the US delegation to demonstrate the same determination as their Iranian counterparts.
In an X post referencing current Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who will lead the Iranian team in the Oman discussions, Zarif said, “The Iranian delegation, led by FM Araghchi, has already proven its capability and determination to reach mutually beneficial agreements.
Zarif, who played a key role in negotiating the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, added a note of caution and expectation for the US side.
"If the US team can exhibit the same qualities, a deal resulting in a better future is within reach," he said. “The ball is in US court.”
