Oman Confirms US-Iran Talks to Resume in Geneva on Thursday Amid Regional Tensions

Muscat. Oman has confirmed that further talks between the United States and Iran will take place in Geneva, Switzerland, next Thursday. Oman's Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi announced the date of the talks via social media on Sunday.

He also mentioned that a positive atmosphere has been created for the talks to make additional efforts to finalize the agreement. This announcement comes at a time when tensions between the two countries have been escalating. Reports of the US increasing its military presence in the Middle East, in particular, have raised concerns about potential conflict.

Previously, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had stated that Tehran is ready to implement a full monitoring mechanism to ensure its nuclear program remains peaceful. He expressed confidence that this would help reduce tensions.

When asked why Iran wants to enrich uranium on its own soil amidst US military buildup and potential tensions, Araghchi stated that the issue is linked to the dignity and pride of Iranians. According to him, the technology developed by Iranian scientists through their own efforts is considered extremely valuable.

The US-Iran talks, mediated by Oman, are considered crucial for regional stability. Concrete progress towards resolving the nuclear dispute is expected from the Geneva talks.
