Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has emphasized that the indirect negotiations between Tehran and Washington, hosted by Oman on Saturday, were limited strictly to nuclear and sanctions-related issues.
“If we take the exchange of letters that initiated the process leading to the indirect talks as the basis, there was nothing in it besides the nuclear issue,” Baghaei said in a televised interview on Sunday.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Steve Witkoff, the US president’s special envoy for Middle East affairs, led the first round of indirect talks in the Omani capital of Muscat on Saturday.
Both sides described the talks as positive and constructive, with Araghchi saying that the next round is expected to take place on April 19 at the same level.
