Oct 14, 2024, 11:23 AM

Iran has announced the suspension of indirect talks with the United States, mediated by Oman, due to escalating regional tensions. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that there are no grounds for continuing these discussions, citing America's systematic dishonesty and the current state of war in the region. The 'Muscat process' of indirect talks has halted, and Iran has conveyed messages to the US through intermediaries. The decision reflects Iran's assessment that there is no benefit in exchanging messages with the US under the current circumstances. The announcement was reported by IRNA and Sky News Arabia.
