In separate telephone calls with his counterparts in Egypt, Oman, and Qatar, Araqchi reviewed the latest regional and international developments.
Earlier, Araqchi had announced that nuclear talks with the United States would be held in Muscat, Oman, on Friday morning.
In a post on X, the top diplomat said the talks are set for around 10 a.m., expressing appreciation to Oman for facilitating the meeting and making the necessary arrangements.
Earlier, Iranian media reports said the negotiations would focus exclusively on Iran’s peaceful nuclear energy program and the lifting of sanctions, with no discussion of other issues.
Araqchi is expected to lead the Iranian delegation, which will include senior diplomats Majid Takht Ravanchi and Kazem Gharibabadi. The United States will be represented by White House special envoy Steve Witkoff, according to the reports.
The talks, the reports added, would be held indirectly, with Oman acting as mediator.
The new round of negotiations was initially planned to take place in Istanbul, but the venue was changed to Muscat at Iran’s request.
The format of the talks will mirror previous rounds held before the unlawful US-Israeli war on Iran last June, which derailed the diplomatic process.
