 The first day of trilateral talks in Muscat between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, and EU special representative Catherine Ashton on the Iranian nuclear program have resulted in some agreements, Oman’s Foreign Minister Yusuf bin Alawi bin Abdullah announced on Sunday.
The talks in Muscat are a result of five years of efforts by the Sultanate to bridge the gaps between Iran and the West and bring all sides to the table to find a peaceful solution to the Iranian nuclear situation, bin Alawi said, the Times of Oman reported on Sunday.
These talks, which are part of the ninth round of negotiations, are coming just two weeks ahead of the November 24 deadline to reach an agreement, he said, adding that while some progress was made on Sunday, more is anticipated in Monday talks.
“Today [Sunday] we were able to agree on the big issues and we expect to get a solution to some of the pending issues. They are still talking. They are still talking seriously on a number of issues and I hope they will reach an agreement,” bin Alawi said.
Zarif, Kerry, and Ashton hold second day of nuclear talks in Oman
The top diplomats from Iran, the United States and the European Union held a second day of high-level talks over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear energy program in the Omani capital on Monday.
Zarif, Kerry, and Ashton started the talks in Muscat on Sunday. Negotiators from Iran and the 5+1 group are also expected to meet in Muscat on Tuesday.
On Sunday, the three senior officials held two rounds of intensive negotiations aimed at facilitating the conclusion of a permanent nuclear agreement between Iran and the six countries (Russia, China, Britain, France, and the United States, plus Germany).
The extent of Iran’s uranium enrichment as well as a timetable for the removal of U.S. and EU sanctions is high on the agenda of the Oman negotiations.
On Sunday, Zarif expressed the Islamic Republic’s firm determination to reach a final accord with the 5+1 group, which will fully safeguard the country’s nuclear rights.
The top diplomat also told Press TV on his way to Muscat that the illegal sanctions imposed on Iran over its nuclear energy program have failed to realize the objectives intended by those countries that imposed them.
Iran and its negotiating partners are working to sort out a final deal aimed at putting an end to the longstanding dispute over Tehran’s nuclear activities.
Last November, the two sides clinched an interim nuclear accord, which took effect on January 20 and expired six months later. However, they agreed to extend their talks until November 24 as they remained divided on a number of key issues.
