Iran's Foreign Ministry has indicated that Iranian negotiator Abbas Araghchi emphasized to his Omani counterpart the conditions necessary for achieving a diplomatic settlement.

According to the ministry, Araghchi stressed during discussions with Oman's foreign minister that the path to an agreement depends fundamentally on the United States abandoning its approach of making excessive and mutually contradictory demands.

The statement underscores Iran's position that any future accord requires a significant shift in Washington's negotiating stance, moving away from what Tehran characterizes as unreasonable and internally inconsistent requirements that have complicated previous diplomatic efforts.

Oman, which has historically played a mediating role in regional negotiations, appears to have been engaged by Iran to communicate its perspective on the conditions necessary for diplomatic progress.
