Why it matters:
The renewed talks signal continued efforts of Iran to pursue its nuclear program through dialougue, despite stalled progress in previous negotiation tracks caused by Israeli and U.S. imposed war against Iran in June 2023.
The big picture:
Indirect nuclear negotiations between Iran and the United States are scheduled to take place Tuesday, mediated by Oman. The talks come as diplomatic channels remain limited and both sides seek to test the possibility of narrowing differences through intermediaries rather than direct engagement.
Key points:
Oman is facilitating the talks as a mediator
Araghchi is leading a delegation that includes diplomatic and technical experts
The visit also includes separate diplomatic meetings with Switzerland's top officials.
