MUSCAT, Oman (AP) — Iran and the United States will hold more negotiations next week over Tehran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program. Iranian state television reported Saturday that U.S. Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi “briefly spoke in the presence of the Omani foreign minister” at the end of the talks Saturday. A White House statement described the talks as “very positive and constructive.” It was the first round of talks between the two countries since President Donald Trump returned to the White House. The two sides spoke for over two hours at a location on the outskirts of Oman’s capital, Muscat. They will meet again April 19.
