Why it matters:
As talks with the U.S. with Oman as mediator continue, Araghchi’s statement signals Tehran’s commitment to diplomacy—while reaffirming its core demands: sanctions relief and recognition of its nuclear rights.
What he's saying:
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Araghchi stated:
“Together with Omani and U.S. interlocutors, we have decided to postpone the 4th round of talks for logistical and technical reasons.”
“On Iran’s part, there is no change in our determination to secure a negotiated solution.”
“In fact, we are more determined than ever to achieve a just and balanced deal: guaranteeing an end to sanctions, and creating confidence that Iran’s nuclear program will forever remain peaceful while ensuring that Iranian rights are fully respected.”
