Nuclear talks between US and Iran begin in Oman

Talks between the the United States and Iran over Iran’s nuclear programme have begun in Muscat, the capital of Oman.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Iranian state television his country wanted a “fair agreement”.
US President Donald Trump pulled the US out of a previous Obama-era nuclear agreement between Iran and world powers in 2018, and has long said he would make a “better” deal. Until now Iran had rejected renegotiating the agreement.
It’s not clear if the two sides will sit in the same room, but the talks are seen as an important first step to establish whether a deal can be done, with Saturday’s meetings expected to focus on establishing a framework for negotiations.
Araghchi has repeatedly emphasised that indirect talks are best at this stage.
