Muscat, February 6 (Xinhua) — Iran rejected the demand for "zero uranium enrichment" during indirect talks with the United States held in Muscat, the Omani capital, the Iranian news agency Mehr reported on Friday.
According to the news agency, the parties focused on the issue of “diluting” (reducing the enrichment level) of existing Iranian uranium reserves.
It is indicated that the atmosphere of the negotiations was “more serious” than in previous rounds of dialogue between the parties.
Meanwhile, Iran's state-run IRIB TV reported on Friday that the Muscat talks had been concluded "for now" and both delegations could return to their countries.
Earlier in the day, the channel reported that the two sides had exchanged several messages through Omani Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad bin Hamoud al-Busaidi, and that talks could continue in the coming days.
A new round of indirect talks began earlier on Friday. The Iranian delegation was led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and the American delegation was led by US Special Presidential Envoy Steven Witkoff.
The talks took place against a backdrop of heightened regional tensions, particularly between Washington and Tehran, including the recent buildup of the United States' military presence in the Middle East and Iran's increased preparations for a potential escalation.
