Tehran says talks next Saturday will discuss framework of possible deal
The next round of talks between Iran and the United States will be held next Saturday, Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi told reporters after the conclusion of the first round.
Araghchi said Oman will continue to host the talks next week, although the venue is likely to change.
The two sides will discuss the general framework of a potential agreement next week, Araghchi said, adding that a timeframe for a potential deal will be discussed in the next round of negotiations.
He described the talks concluded today in Oman as constructive, held in a calm and respectful environment.
Araghchi thanked the Omani mediator for making four trips between the Iranian and US delegations during the indirect talks, which he said lasted about two and a half hours.
He also said that no disrespectful language was used throughout the discussions.
Asked about his brief meeting with top US negotiator Steve Witkoff on the sidelines of the talks, Araghchi said, “Nothing extraordinary was exchanged with the US delegation."
"We simply greeted each other and spoke briefly after our delegations happened to cross paths while leaving the talks,” he added.
