Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will visit Moscow later this week to discuss recent nuclear negotiations with the United States, a foreign ministry spokesman said Monday.
On Saturday, Araghchi held talks with U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff in Muscat, Oman, marking the highest-level Iranian-U.S. nuclear negotiations since the collapse of a 2015 accord.
"Dr Araghchi will travel to Moscow at the end of the week," spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei told journalists, adding that the trip was "pre-planned" and would be "an opportunity to discuss the latest developments related to the Muscat talks."
Iran and the United States described Saturday's discussions as "constructive."
The negotiations came weeks after U.S. President Donald Trump sent a letter to Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei calling for nuclear talks while warning of possible military action if Tehran refused.
Russia, a close ally of Iran, and China have held discussions with Iran in recent weeks over its nuclear program.
Moscow welcomed the Iran-U.S. talks as it pushed for a diplomatic solution and warned that military confrontation would be a "global catastrophe."
Another round of talks between Iran and the United States is scheduled for April 19.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
