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.
