Oman's Foreign Minister announces cancellation of Iran-U.S. talks after Israel's strikes, emphasizing diplomacy for peace.
Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi says planned talks between Iran and the United States over Tehran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program “will not now take place” after Israel’s strikes targeting the Islamic Republic.
Badr al-Busaidi made the announcement on social media Saturday (June 14, 2025). It comes after Iran’s Foreign Minister said any talks would be “unjustifiable” amid the ongoing attacks. Oman has been mediating the talks.
“The Iran-U.S. talks scheduled to be held in Muscat this Sunday (June 15, 2025) will not now take place,” Mr. Al-Busaidi wrote. “But diplomacy and dialogue remain the only pathway to lasting peace.”
A sixth round was due to happen in Muscat, Oman’s capital, before the Israeli strikes began Friday (June 13, 2025).
