Iran’s top security official departs for Oman amid indirect talks with US
Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Larijani has departed for Muscat, the capital of Oman, for high-level talks, amid preparations for further indirect nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington
Larijani, who left Tehran early Tuesday, is scheduled to hold talks with senior Omani officials, including Sultan Haitham bin Tariq and Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi.
Discussions will focus on the latest regional and international developments, as well as ways to strengthen bilateral cooperation between the two countries.
On Friday, Iran and the United States held a new round of indirect nuclear negotiations in Muscat.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who headed the Iranian negotiating team, described the talks as a “good start,” adding that both sides intended to continue the discussions.
After indirect talks with the US in Oman, Iran reaffirmed it will defend its sovereignty and resist foreign pressure despite new sanctions and a heightened US military presence.

The negotiations came as the United States had resorted to a significant military buildup in the region, prompting the emergence of rampant speculation about a military confrontation with the Islamic Republic.
The US joined the Israeli regime in the latter’s 12-day imposed war on Iran last June, despite underway negotiations between American and Iranian officials aimed at resolving outstanding issues through diplomacy.
The aggression was, however, met with a decisive Iranian response, prompting the regime to ask for a ceasefire through Washington.
