The big picture:
The negotiations, mediated by Oman, are part of an ongoing diplomatic effort to reduce friction over Iran’s nuclear program. The first three rounds were held in April, and while progress remains limited, both sides are still engaging.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi made clear ahead of the latest talks that Iran’s uranium enrichment program is off the table.
“This is a national achievement paid for with the lives of our nuclear scientists,” Araghchi said, adding, “Our enrichment capability is a red line and non-negotiable.”
What he's saying:
Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei: The fourth round just ended minutes ago.”
Talks provide a better understanding of each side’s positions.
The Omani coordinator will announce the time and location of the next round.
