Iran Security Council Secretary to Visit Oman
Ali Larijani is set to travel to Muscat on Tuesday, where he will hold meetings with senior Omani officials
Iran | PUREWILAYAH.COM — Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, is set to travel to Muscat on Tuesday, where he will hold meetings with senior Omani officials amid ongoing regional and international developments.
Larijani will head a high-level delegation to the Omani capital to discuss bilateral cooperation and the latest political and security developments in West Asia, according to Iranian officials. The visit underscores Oman’s continued role as a regional interlocutor at a time of heightened diplomatic activity involving Iran.
Muscat Talks and Regional Consultations
Larijani’s visit comes as Iran maintains active diplomatic engagement across the region. Omani officials have played a mediating role in facilitating indirect talks between Tehran and Washington, a format Iran has repeatedly emphasized as both legitimate and effective.
Iranian officials stress that regional consultations are not about foreign interference, but about coordination and dialogue aimed at reducing tensions and advancing regional interests independent of Western pressure.
Araghchi: Talks Limited Strictly to Nuclear File
Speaking earlier in Tehran, Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi clarified that the recent round of talks held in Muscat focused exclusively on the nuclear issue.
He stated that negotiations were conducted indirectly, with mediation by the Omani foreign minister, and emphasized that Iran has made clear it will only negotiate on nuclear matters—nothing more.
“The only similarity with previous rounds is the indirect format,” Araghchi said, adding that Iran has entered the talks with full awareness of past experiences and lessons learned.
Zero Enrichment Rejected Without Exception
Araghchi firmly rejected any proposal involving zero uranium enrichment, stressing that such a demand is categorically unacceptable to Iran.
He noted that discussions must instead focus on ensuring the continuation of enrichment alongside confidence-building measures that guarantee its peaceful nature. Any attempt to undermine Iran’s sovereign nuclear rights, he said, would render talks meaningless. (PW)
