Oman, acting as a key mediator in nuclear discussions between the United States and Iran, announced on Saturday that the anticipated talks between the two nations will not take place as planned.
“The talks between Iran and the United States, which were scheduled to be held in Muscat this Sunday, will not take place. However, diplomacy and dialogue remain the only path to lasting peace,” Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi stated on X (formerly Twitter).
The meeting was expected to be part of ongoing indirect efforts to de-escalate tensions and revive elements of the 2015 nuclear agreement, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). While no official reason was given for the cancellation, the announcement comes amid rising regional instability.
Despite the setback, Oman reaffirmed its commitment to fostering diplomatic engagement between Tehran and Washington, emphasizing that dialogue remains essential to avoiding further conflict.
No new date for rescheduled talks has been announced.
Iran could agree to dilute its most highly enriched uranium in exchange for all financial sanctions being lifted, its atomic chief said on Monday, one of the most direct indications so far of its position at talks with Washington.
Kuwait has added eight Lebanese hospitals to its national sanctions list over alleged links to terrorism, according to the Kuwaiti daily Al-Rai. The hospitals are all located in areas where Hezbollah is influential: southern Lebanon, the Bekaa Valley, and Beirut’s southern suburbs.
The death toll from the collapse of residential buildings in the Lebanese city of Tripoli rose to 14 after search and rescue operations ended, Lebanon's National News Agency said on Monday citing the civil defence chief.
