Iran-US talks in Oman focus solely on nuclear issue: Envoy
The head of Iran's Interests Section in Egypt has emphasized that the negotiations between Tehran and Washington in Oman will focus solely on the nuclear issue.
Mojtaba Ferdosipour made the remarks in an interview with the Saudi news outlet al-Hadath on Friday, before Iranian and American officials hold talks in the Omani capital of Muscat following weeks of escalating tensions caused by the US war rhetoric against Iran.
“It has been repeatedly announced by Iran, the foreign minister and the Supreme National Security Council that the only issue on the table in today's talks is the nuclear issue,” he said.
"Of course, during the nuclear talks, various issues and proposals may be discussed."

Earlier in the day, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who is heading the Iranian delegation for the negotiations, met with his Omani counterpart, Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi.
During the meeting, Araghchi referred to the Islamic Republic’s approach of using diplomacy to secure national interests.
He also underlined Iran’s full readiness to defend the country’s sovereignty and national security against any excessive demands or adventurism.
He further expressed appreciation for Oman's hosting and facilitating the Iran-US nuclear talks.
The negotiations came at a time when the region is once again bracing for another potential military confrontation after the United States deployed air and naval forces to the region and threatened to attack the Islamic Republic.
Iranian officials have warned that any US attack would prompt an immediate response and could ignite a regional war.
Last year, Iran and the US held five rounds of Oman-mediated indirect negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program before the Israeli regime derailed the diplomatic efforts by launching a war of aggression against the Islamic Republic.
More than a week into the war, the United States joined the terrorist assault and bombed Iran's nuclear facilities.
The illegal US-Israeli aggression killed at least 1,064 people in Iran, including military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians, between June 13 and 27, 2025.
