The latest round of US-Iran nuclear talks scheduled for Sunday in Muscat will not take place, Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi said on X on Saturday. Oman has been mediating the talks.

The sixth round of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks will be held on Sunday in Muscat, the Omani foreign minister said on Thursday, after U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated that Tehran would not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.

Sources familiar with the matter tell i24NEWS that Iran has approached Oman and Qatar to act as intermediaries with the United States, hoping to broker a ceasefire that would bring an end to Israel’s military offensive.

Oman confirmed Thursday that it will host a sixth round of indirect nuclear talks between the US and Iran in Muscat on Sunday, amid mounting regional tensions. “I am pleased to confirm the 6th round of Iran-US talks will be held in Muscat this Sunday the 15th,” Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi posted on X, without providing further details.
