The United States said Thorsday, on April 24, that President Donald Trump, Steve Witkoff, will meet with Iranian officials for the third consecutive week while the adversaries seek a nuclear agreement. Witkoff, a Trump businessman who has become his trot negotiator, the last with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, on Saturday in Rome, where progress reported and asked for conversations between technical teams. The State Department announced that Witkoff would attend the technical conversations that would take place on Saturday in Oman, where he held his first meeting with Araghchi on April 12.
“The next round of conversations will take place in Oman on Saturday, and will be the first meeting of technical teams,” the spokeswoman for the Tammy Bruce State Department spokesman. “The special Witkoff envoy will also be present,” he said, noting that Michael Anton, who serves as head of policy planning of the State Department, will lead the technical work on the side of the United States. Anton is a conservative scholar known more for his strong criticisms of immigration to the United States than to technical experience in nuclear issues.
Witkoff, who had no diplomatic experience before being beaten by Trump, quickly immersed himself in the efforts to ensure a high fire in Gaza, which since then has collapsed with Israel’s renewed offensive against Hezbollah. He is also trying to end the Ukraine War and is expected to meet on Friday in Russia with President Vladimir Putin.
Trump in 2018 broke a previous nuclear agreement negotiated under President Barack Obama and restarted radical sanctions. But since he returned to a position, he has promised to seek diplomacy and has discouraged Israel to carry out a military strike over the nation, it is his archEPENEMIGO.
‘Forge a different path’
Araghchi said Thorsday that he was open to travel to Germany, France and Great Britain, American allies who were part of the 2015 nuclear agreement and that he was not successful to prevent Trump from retiring in his first term. Araghchi, in a publication about X, said it was open to the discussion “not only on the nuclear issue, but in each and every one of the areas or mutual group.”
In an allusion to the growing halceta of the European powers in Iran since the first term of Trump and Israeli pressure, Araghchi said that Great Britain, France and Germany “have the opportunity to eliminate slurry and falsification.” Araghchi on Wednesday Hero speaks in China and last week visited Russia.
The spokesman of the Foreign Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Christophe Lemoine, told AFP that Paris would wait and see “if this announcement of the Iranian minister is followed by effects.” He added that France “will continue voluntarily dialogue with the Iranians” about the nuclear subject. Germany and Great Britain did not comment immediately.
After Washington’s withdrawal from the agreement, Tehran attached to the agreement for a year before reducing its compliance, increasing its enrichment from uranium to OP to 60%, well above the 3.67% required established by the agreement.

In December, the three European countries warned about the possibility of triggering the so -called “Snapback” mechanism under the 2015 agreement if Iran continued to develop its nuclear program. If activated, the mechanism would automatically restore UN sanctions to Iran on their breach. The option to activate it expires in October.
The United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has urged European countries to decide whether to use the option. Iran previously warned that it could withdraw from the Nuclear Non -Proliferation Treaty if the mechanism was activated.
