Amid growing expressions from Iranian officials about their country's openness to renewed negotiations with the United States—albeit under certain conditions—Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani confirmed that Tehran has received invitations to resume talks.
In a press statement on Sunday, Mohajerani said the Foreign Ministry had received messages regarding the resumption of negotiations. She added that further clarification about the content and nature of these messages would be provided "at the appropriate time."
Her remarks followed a statement by Omani Foreign Minister Badr Al-Busaidi during a panel discussion at the annual Manama Dialogue conference, organized by the International Institute for Strategic Studies in Bahrain. Al-Busaidi expressed Oman’s desire to see negotiations between Iran, and the United States resume. He noted that Oman had hosted five rounds of talks between Washington and Tehran this year but said that “just three days before what could have been a decisive sixth round, Israel launched its bombs and missiles in an illegal and deadly act of sabotage,” according to AFP.
Mohajerani’s comments also came after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi recently affirmed that managing relations with Washington remains possible. He expressed Iran’s readiness to negotiate and build trust to address concerns surrounding its nuclear program.
Additionally, Iran’s chief negotiator and Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs, Majid Takht-Ravanchi, visited Muscat last Friday and met with several Omani officials. This visit sparked speculation about Oman potentially resuming its role as a mediator between Iran and the United States, facilitating the exchange of messages between the two sides.
