Iran turns to Oman and Qatar to mediate on US talks - Israel Hayom

Iran has asked Oman and Qatar to mediate between Tehran and Washington with the aim of resuming nuclear negotiations, on the condition that Israeli attacks cease, Israel Hayom reported.

Oman, which previously hosted US-Iran talks, confirmed it is pursuing this track, but the US has shown no urgency in responding, the report said.

Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi said the latest round of talks, set for Sunday in Muscat, has been canceled.

A senior US diplomat told Israel Hayom that Iran now holds “a significantly weaker position” than before the Israeli strike.

“They either failed to understand or deliberately ignored the president’s warnings,” the diplomat was quoted as saying, accusing Tehran of stalling talks while rapidly advancing its nuclear program.
