Fourth round of US-Iran nuclear talks likely over the weekend in Oman

Investing.com -- A fourth round of nuclear discussions between the United States and Iran is expected to happen over the weekend in Oman’s capital. The precise timing of the talks is not confirmed, but Iranian state media has indicated May 11 as a potential date, according to an Iranian source close to the negotiation team. The talks are planned to span over two days in Muscat, either on Saturday and Sunday or Sunday and Monday.

The fourth round of negotiations, originally scheduled for May 3 in Rome, was delayed due to "logistical reasons," as stated by mediator Oman. Steve Witkoff, the top U.S. negotiator, has also expressed Washington’s intention to conduct the next round of talks this weekend. This information was revealed a day after Iran’s foreign ministry reaffirmed Tehran’s commitment to diplomatic engagement with Washington.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump, who pulled the U.S. out of a 2015 nuclear agreement between Iran and global powers, had threatened to bomb Iran if no accord was reached with his administration to settle the enduring dispute. Western countries argue that Iran’s nuclear program is intended for weapon production, while Iran maintains it is strictly for civilian use.
