Adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader to visit Oman on Tuesday after US-Iranian talks
Ali Larijani, an adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and secretary of its national security council, will visit Oman on Tuesday following indirect U.S.-Iranian talks there, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported.
U.S. and Iranian diplomats engaged through Omani mediation in the Gulf Arab state last week in an effort to revive diplomacy amid a U.S. naval buildup near Iran and Tehran’s vows of a harsh response if attacked.
“During this trip, (Larijani) will meet with high-ranking officials of the Sultanate of Oman and discuss the latest regional and international developments and bilateral cooperation at various levels,” Tasnim said.
The date and venue of the next round of talks have yet to be announced.
The United States wants to include Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal in the negotiations, but Tehran has ruled this out.
