Sources Reveal Details of Behind-the-Scenes Iran-US Negotiations
An insider familiar with the ongoing discussions has disclosed details regarding confidential negotiations taking place in Oman between Iran and the United States.
There is limited information and transparency regarding the developments occurring behind closed doors in Muscat.
Al Jazeera has obtained information from a source intimately involved in the negotiations, revealing that both parties have been requested to formulate a position paper. This document is set to delineate the crucial topics they deem vital for discourse, as well as their non-negotiable points, which are areas that must remain inviolate during the talks.
The two documents will subsequently be exchanged, allowing each party to review the opposing side’s principal stance on the matter.
According to a source, Iranian officials have insisted that discussions should remain focused solely on nuclear matters.
It has been noted that there is uncertainty regarding whether the upcoming discussions will take place directly or indirectly. Reports suggest that Omani intermediaries may facilitate the dialogue by moving between rooms to converse with each party individually, according to sources.
A source indicated that based on their understanding, Iranian representatives have not received directives from Tehran to engage in direct meetings.
