A technical, expert-level nuclear meeting between Iran and the United States has been postponed to Saturday, Tehran announced on Tuesday.
This rescheduling coincides with the third round of indirect talks between the two nations, mediated by Oman.
Foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei stated that the delay, originally set for Wednesday, followed Oman’s proposal and the agreement of both Iranian and American delegations.
The reason for the postponement was not immediately disclosed.
Tehran and Washington have held two previous rounds of indirect discussions in Muscat and Rome since April 12, led by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff.
Oman has confirmed that the third round will also take place in Muscat on Saturday.
These talks mark the highest level of engagement between the adversaries since the US, under President Donald Trump, withdrew from the landmark nuclear agreement in 2018.
Following the Rome meeting, Araghchi described the discussions as “good” and noted progress.
On Monday, President Trump also acknowledged “very good meetings” regarding Iran. Western nations, including the US, have long accused Iran of pursuing nuclear weapons, a claim Tehran consistently denies, asserting its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
Separately, Iran announced that Araghchi would travel to China for talks and had briefed the UN nuclear chief on the US discussions.
