Iran says it is seeking "real and fair" agreement with U.S., ahead of nuclear talks in Oman

Iran is seeking a "real and fair" agreement with the United States on its nuclear program, a senior aide to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Friday, ahead of talks over the weekend.

"Far from putting up a show and merely talking in front of the cameras, Tehran is seeking a real and fair agreement, important and implementable proposals are ready," Khamenei adviser Ali Shamkhani said in a post on X.    

The talks between the longtime adversaries are set to take place on Saturday in Oman, aimed at reaching a deal on Tehran's nuclear program. President Trump has said they will be "direct talks," while Iran's foreign minister referred to them as "indirect high-level talks" through a mediator.
