Iran's Foreign Minister Says Omani-Mediated Talks with US Were a 'Good Start'
Despite the deep-seated mistrust between the two nations, indirect talks between Iran and the US, facilitated by Oman, have been deemed a "good start" by Iranian officials.
The remarks come at a time when tensions between the two countries remain high, with ongoing disputes over regional issues such as Yemen and Jerusalem. However, these recent talks represent an effort to address long-standing issues through backchannel negotiations.
Sources close to the negotiations say that Oman played a crucial role in facilitating communication between the two sides, helping to ease some of the mistrust and hostility that has characterized relations between Iran and the US for years.
While details of the talks remain scarce, Iranian officials have expressed optimism about the potential for future cooperation with Washington. "We believe this is just the beginning of a new chapter," said one senior official.
Critics, however, caution against complacency, warning that any progress will require sustained efforts to rebuild trust and confidence between the two nations.
