Abbas Araghchi, the foreign minister of Iran, is scheduled to travel to Moscow this week to explore new Oman radioactive negotiations, according to a spokesman for the ministry.
The highest-level Iranian-US atomic agreements since the collapse of a 2015 deal took place on Saturday in Muscat, where Araghchi and US Middle East minister Steve Witkoff met.
According to official Esmaeil Baqaei, Dr. Araghchi may travel to Moscow at the end of the week, adding that the journey was “pre-planned” and would give attendees an opportunity to explore the most recent developments relating to the Muscat deals.
Separately, Iran and the United States both referred to Saturday’s conversations as” constructive.”
The negotiations took place week after US President Donald Trump wrote a letter to Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warning of possible military activity if Tehran refused to agree to nuclear talks.
In subsequent days, China and Russia have discussed Iran’s nuclear program.
Moscow applauded the Iran-US discussions and demanded a political alternative. It also warned that a military conflict may lead to a “global catastrophe.”
On Saturday, April 19, another round of Iran-US speaks is scheduled.

Without going into further detail, the official IRNA news organization stated that they would be held in Europe.
According to Baqaei, the next round of discussions will continue to be direct with Omani mediation, adding that strong discussions were” not successful” and” not useful.”
He had recently stated that the only areas of discussion for the upcoming discussions may be” the nuclear problem and the raising of sanctions,” and that Iran” does not hold discussions with the American side on any other matter.”
Later on Sunday, IRNA reported that Tehran’s regional control and its weapon features were among its “red ranges” in the discussions.
Washington withdrew from the 2015 deal and resumed biting sanctions on Iran in Trump’s second term in office in 2018.
Iran adhered to the contract for a year following Trump’s withdrawal, but it eventually started reversing its course.
Iran has persistently denied having nuclear weapons in the past.
Baqaei reiterated that Iran will quickly number Rafael Grossi, the head of the UN nuclear watchdog, but that decisions regarding his travel were still” to be made.”
Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA ), last spoke with senior Iranian officials, including President Masoud Pezeshkian, in November.
The IAEA reported in its most recent quarterly report in February that Iran had an estimated 274.8 kilograms (605 pounds ) of uranium enriched to up to 60 %, which is close to the 90 percent requirement for nuclear weapons.
