They were spread over different rooms to prevent war on: negotiations between Iran and USA started in Oman

The meeting in Oman, the Gulf state, can be the first direct negotiations between Iranian and American officials over decades, although Iran insists that they will be indirect - with the participation of intermediaries who act as mediators between the two countries.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran Esmael Bakai said that the "indirect negotiations" between the Minister of Foreign Affairs Iran Abbas Arakchi and the Special Representative of the Trump administration in the Middle East Steve Witcoff "began with the mediation of Foreign Minister Badra Al-Busaida. Representatives of the US and Iran will sit in separate rooms and pass on each other their requirements and suggestions through the Minister of Decembration, he said.

The US did not confirm that the negotiations began. Iran seeks to achieve a "initial understanding" with the United States, which can lead to the negotiation process, Arakchi said after arriving at the capital of misleading Muscat. According to him, it is too early to talk about the schedule of negotiations, which depends on "sufficient will on both sides.

" President Donald Trump gave Tehran a two -month term to adopting an agreement, which will reduce Iran's reduction of his nuclear presence or complete liquidation of his program. "I want them not to have nuclear weapons. I want Iran to be a beautiful, big, happy country, but they can't have nuclear weapons," Trump said on board Air Force One on April 11 on Florida.

Negotiations have taken place after the regional influence of the Islamic Republic in the last 18 months is much weakened due to the strikes of Israel on its trusted persons, the overthrow of Bashar Assad in Syria and unprecedented attacks within its own borders. Trump stated that Iran's military strikes are possible if a new nuclear agreement is not reached, although he stated that Israel, who was assaulting Iran, would take the initiative. "If the military is needed, we will have the military.

Israel will obviously be very active in this. They will be the leaders of this," Trump said. But Iran has repeatedly refused to negotiate under pressure. On Friday, he outlined his "red lines" for negotiations, including "threatening vocabulary", "excessive requirements" of Iran's nuclear program and Iran's defense industry, probably referring to Tehran's program from ballistic missiles, which Middle Eastern Allies consider.

Signs of progress can help reduce tensions in the region, which since 2023 has been covered by wars in the Gaza and Lebanon sector, rocket attacks between Iran and Israel, Hussites attacks on navigation in the Red Sea and the overthrow of the government in Syria. Earlier, Focus wrote about how likely the war between the US and Iran is, especially since Tehran even provided a list of goals - US military bases that will be attacked if Washington was hit.
