Iran and US say nuclear discussions 'constructive'

Iran and the United States concluded a preliminary round of what both parties called "constructive "nuclear talks in Oman on Saturday and will meet again a week later.

Iran's Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi said the indirect talks with US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff were "constructive and promising".

"The talks were conducted in an atmosphere of mutual respect. I elaborated Iran's viewpoints in a firm yet forward-looking manner. Both sides decided to continue the process in a matter of days," he said.
