Iran and the United States have yet to agree on a date, time, or location for a new round of indirect nuclear negotiations, according to Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei.
Speaking at a weekly press briefing, Baghaei said Tehran would not return to the negotiation table until it is confident in the effectiveness of the diplomatic process. “No date, time, or venue has been set,” he stated, emphasizing Iran’s current skepticism regarding the fruitfulness of talks.
The stalled dialogue comes after indirect talks between Iran and the U.S. resumed in April 2025 through Omani mediation, aiming to de-escalate tensions surrounding Iran’s nuclear program. However, prospects for progress dimmed following deepening disagreements over uranium enrichment levels.
A sixth round of negotiations, initially scheduled for June 15 in Muscat, was scrapped after a military strike by Israel on Iranian territory reignited regional tensions and prompted Tehran to reconsider its diplomatic approach.
The latest developments suggest that a resolution to the longstanding standoff over Iran’s nuclear ambitions remains elusive, with geopolitical volatility and mutual distrust continuing to stall meaningful engagement.
