"Iran and the USA will meet in Oman on Saturday for indirect high-level talks. It is as much an opportunity as a test. The ball is on the USA's playing field", writes Abbas Araghchi on X.
The USA's President Donald Trump surprisingly announced the talks during a press conference with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday evening, Swedish time. Then he said it would be "direct talks".
Maybe we can get an agreement, it would have been very good. We will hold very important meetings at almost the highest level on Saturday, he said and simultaneously threatened Iran.
If the talks are not successful, I think it will be very bad for Iran.
