Tehran: Iran said on Friday that it was giving diplomacy a “real” opportunity to diplomacy in a nuclear dialogue with the United States in Oman, despite increasing pressure from Washington.
The long -standing opponents are ready to interact on Saturday in Iran and the United States Muscat, the aim to reach a possible nuclear deal. President Donald Trump on Monday announced a shock that his administration would negotiate with Iran.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmile Bagi said in a post on X, “We are giving a real opportunity to diplomacy in good faith and full vigilance. The US should appreciate the decision, despite their hostile rhetoric.”
Leading the talks will be US Special Envoy Steve Witcoff and Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
Trump said the talks would be “direct”, but Argchi has insisted that they would be “indirect”.
Next to the planned meeting, Washington continued its “maximum pressure” policy of restrictions on Iran, which recently targets its oil network and nuclear program.
On Wednesday, Trump said the military action against Iran was “absolutely” possible if the conversation failed to make a deal.
On Thursday, Ali Shamkhani, a senior advisor to Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, warned that such threats could accelerate measures, including the removal of the United Nations Nuclear Aquarius Inspectors from Iran.
Washington replied that such a step would “be an increase and a missing from Iran.”
Trump, after sending a letter to Khameni last month, held a Saturday conversation, urged a warning of conversation and possible military action if Tehran refused.
Tehran replied weeks later, saying that it was open to indirect negotiations and dismissed the possibility of direct dialogue until the United States maintains its “maximum pressure” policy.
Bakai said that “Neither prejudice nor prediction would be predicted” in front of Iran talks.
“We intend to assess the intentions and severity of the other side on Saturday and adjust our next moves accordingly,” Bakaii said.
