Iran FM arrives in Oman for US talks on 'symbolic' flight coming from Tabas
Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Muscat on Thursday ahead of talks with the United States, on a flight that was deliberately listed as departing from “Tabas” rather than Tehran in what the state media called a symbolic move.
Tabas is the site of the failed 1980 US hostage rescue mission, when a sandstorm and equipment failures forced Washington to abort Operation Eagle Claw, killing eight American servicemen.
