High level conversations between the United States and Iran about Tehran’s nuclear program are scheduled to resume Sunday in Oman, a local official said Thursday.
“I am pleased to confirm that the sixth round of Iran’s conversations in the United States will take place in Muscat this Sunday 15,” said Bad Albusaidi, the country’s foreign minister on social networks.
The conversations, which are the sixth round that will be held since April, have the objective of finding an agreement to replace a previous agreement, the joint comprehensive action plan, which Trump withdrew to the United States during their first term.

An American official confirmed ABC News on Wednesday that the US delegation was still planning to attend conversations, despite high tensions in the region.
Seyed Abbas Araghchi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran, said in A statement On Wednesday, Trump had said when he returned to office that Iran should not have nuclear weapons at all.

Since then, Trump repeated that feeling, saying earlier this month on social networks that a possible agreement “would not allow any uranium enrichment.”
But Araghchi still seemed sure that an agreement could be reached in which Iran would continue its enrichment program.
“As we resume the conversations on Sunday, it is clear that an agreement that can guarantee the continuous peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program is within reach, and could be achieved quickly,” said Araghchi.

He described the continuation of the nuclear program as a “mutually beneficial result”, saying that enrichment would be carried out “under the complete supervision of the OIEA”, the intergovernmental agency that helps supervise such facilities.
