Iran’s foreign minister will travel to Russia this week for talks on the country’s nuclear programme, just days before a fresh round of indirect negotiations with the United States.
On Saturday, Abbas Araghchi held talks with US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff in Oman — the highest-level negotiations since the 2015 nuclear accord collapsed.
US President Donald Trump, who withdrew from the deal, has brought Iran back into the spotlight since returning to office in January.
In March, he sent a letter to Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, calling for nuclear talks and warning of possible military action if Tehran refused.
