The next crucial round of nuclear talks between Washington and Tehran is set to unfold in the coming weeks, with Oman facilitating discussions in a European venue.
The third round of nuclear talks between the US and Iran concluded on April 26 after several hours of negotiations in Oman, with both sides discussing critical aspects of Iran’s nuclear programme, Caliber.Az reports per foreign media.
Although the talks addressed technical issues, no agreement was reached. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called the discussions “very serious,” noting that while disagreements persist, he remained “cautiously optimistic” about progress. Araghchi confirmed that the next round of talks would occur soon, with Oman continuing to mediate.
The US side has agreed to continue, but no exact timeline was set. “The atmosphere of the negotiations was very serious and productive,” the official stated. “We moved away from some of the larger issues, but it doesn’t mean we have resolved all our differences.”
The key issues discussed include uranium enrichment levels and the monitoring of Iran’s nuclear facilities, as well as the future of US sanctions. Despite ongoing tensions, both sides have indicated willingness to continue the dialogue, which could eventually lead to a new agreement. The negotiations aim to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, a goal shared by the Trump administration.
However, US officials have sent mixed messages about the specifics of what any new deal should entail. While some advocates seek a return to the 2015 nuclear deal, President Trump has emphasised his desire to avoid repeating the same agreement. The ongoing diplomatic efforts could ease tensions among the US, Iran, and Israel, reducing the threat of military conflict and potentially leading to economic relief for Iran. However, a final agreement remains elusive, and the technical details of the negotiations are still unresolved.
