Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has arrived in the Omani capital Muscat to take part in a third round of indirect talks with the US on Saturday over Iran's nuclear program.
Araghchi and his delegation arrived in Muscat for the third round of Iran-US talks, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei on Friday.
He reiterated that his country is resolved to secure its "legitimate and lawful right to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes."
On Thursday, US State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said US special envoy Steve Witkoff will also be present at the talks in Oman.
Iran and the US held two rounds of negotiations in Oman and Italy earlier this month, with both sides describing the talks as “constructive.”
Trump has threatened military action against Iran if a new agreement is not reached to replace the 2015 nuclear deal, which he unilaterally withdrew the US from in 2018, during his first term as president.
