Expert-level Iran-U.S. talks that were supposed to take place on Wednesday will be shifted to Saturday, Tehran's foreign ministry spokesperson said, with a third round of high-level nuclear talks due on the same day in Oman.
Iran and the United States agreed on Saturday to begin drawing up a framework for a potential nuclear deal, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said after the talks in Rome that a U.S. official described as yielding "very good progress".
"Based on Oman's suggestion and the agreement of U.S. and Iranian delegations, the technical consultation meeting, in the framework of indirect talks between the two sides, that was supposed to take place on Wednesday... has been moved to Saturday," foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Tuesday.
U.S. President Donald Trump, who abandoned a 2015 nuclear pact between Tehran and world powers during his first term in 2018, has threatened to attack Iran unless it reaches a new deal swiftly that would prevent it from developing a nuclear weapon.
Top U.S. and Iranian negotiators will meet again in Oman on Saturday to "review the experts' work and assess how closely it aligns with the principles of a potential agreement", Araqchi had said.
Western powers suspect Iran is pursuing the capability to assemble a nuclear weapon, which Tehran denies.
Iran, which insists its uranium enrichment programme is peaceful, says it is willing to discuss limited curbs to its atomic activity in return for a lifting of international sanctions against it.

Hezbollah has received $200 million from Iran to help Lebanese displaced by this year’s war with Israel, two people with direct knowledge of the transfer said, the first significant aid from the group to supporters who bore the brunt of the conflict.
Seven months into this war, the Islamic Republic is in the tightest corner of its forty-seven years. That is not cheerleading; it is arithmetic.
US Vice President JD Vance said in an exclusive interview with Reuters that Iran must make a “meaningful” reduction in its nuclear enrichment capacity to satisfy US demands and end the countries’ seven-month war, even as Washington was unsure how Tehran makes decisions in negotiations.
