The meeting was paused after around three hours of negotiations in the morning and resumed for another hour in the late afternoon. Neither the US nor Iran have officially commented on the alleged pause in negotiations or the outcome of the meeting. However, according to the American website Axios, Americans evaluated the meeting as positive. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the meeting resulted in “good progress.” Oman’s Foreign Minister, Badr bin Hamad Al-Busaidi, who is mediating the talks, stated that there had been “significant progress”. On the brink of conflict, the US and Iran agree to negotiate technical details of a possible nuclear deal. The Axios report also says that US negotiators were willing to demonstrate a certain degree of flexibility to allow Tehran to enrich uranium, as long as they proved that they do not seek to build a nuclear bomb. This Friday, the Iranian foreign minister asked the United States to abandon “excessive demands” to reach the agreement. With tensions in the Middle East on the rise, also this Friday, the American government authorized non-essential diplomatic employees from its embassy in Israel to leave the country.
