Iran says fourth round of ‘difficult’ nuclear talks with US ends in Oman
- On April 26, 2025, Iran and the U.S. Engaged in their fourth session of nuclear discussions in Muscat, Oman, with Omani officials serving as mediators.
- The talks occurred amid rising tensions in the Middle East, including the Israel-Hamas war, with the U.S. Aiming to limit Iran's rapidly advancing nuclear program and Iran insisting on preserving its enrichment rights.
- The negotiations, which lasted approximately three hours in Muscat, involved both face-to-face meetings and primarily indirect exchanges, with Omani officials facilitating communication between representatives from Iran, including a senior foreign affairs figure, and the U.S. Envoy Steve Witkoff.
- The 2015 nuclear deal limited Iran's uranium enrichment to 3.67% and stockpile to 300 kilograms, but since the U.S. Withdrew in 2018, Iran has enriched uranium up to 60%, nearing weapons-grade levels, escalating concerns despite ongoing talks.
- Iranian officials described the negotiations as challenging yet productive and are planning a subsequent round, while ongoing issues such as sanctions, domestic pressures, and regional tensions mean that a final agreement remains distant.
