Reference News website reported on May 12 that according to a report from Agence France-Presse on May 11, Iran and the United States concluded their nuclear negotiations in Oman on the 11th. There was no significant breakthrough in their public deadlock over uranium enrichment, but both sides confirmed plans for future negotiations.

The report stated that this was the fourth round of US-Iran nuclear negotiations which began nearly a month ago, and it was the highest-level contact between the two adversaries since Washington withdrew from a landmark nuclear agreement during Trump's first term as president in 2018.

Both sides said that progress had been made in the first three rounds of talks. On the 11th, Iran said that the fourth round of talks that day were "difficult but beneficial"; a senior American official said that Washington was "encouraged".

This anonymous American official said that Washington "was encouraged by today's results and looks forward to our next meeting, which will take place in the near future," without specifying the exact time.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Seyed Ismail Qaenie posted on social media platform X that "the next round of talks will be coordinated and announced by Oman", and Oman said "negotiations can begin once both parties have consulted with their respective leaders".

According to this American official, the talks on the 11th "were both direct and indirect, lasting more than three hours." He added that "both sides agreed to move forward" and "continue solving technical problems".

After the talks ended, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who led the Tehran delegation, reiterated Iran's position on uranium enrichment, stating that it "must continue without compromise."

He noted that this round of talks was "more serious" than previous ones, and told Iran's state-run television that Tehran might be willing to limit uranium enrichment levels "to help build trust". (Translated by Wang Haifang)
