Representatives from Oman are expected to participate as mediators. This follows a previous round of indirect US–Iran talks held in Oman.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran prefers diplomacy and that a nuclear agreement regarding its peaceful program is possible only if it is fair and balanced.

On Friday, the Kremlin announced that its adviser and chief peace negotiator Vladimir Medinsky will lead Russia’s delegation for the Geneva trilateral discussions.
