Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi will visit Saudi Arabia and Qatar on Saturday and will participate in the Iran-Arab World Dialogue summit in Doha, a ministry spokesperson said on Friday, ahead of possible U.S.-Iran talks on Sunday.

A fourth round of nuclear talks between Iran and the United States is likely to take place over the weekend in the capital of Oman, and U.S. President Donald Trump is set to visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates next week.

Trump, who withdrew the U.S. from a 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers, has threatened to bomb Iran if no agreement is reached with his administration to resolve the long-standing dispute.
