Shafaq News/ On Monday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held a phone call with Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein, updating him on the latest developments in Iran’s ongoing negotiations with the United States.
According to a statement from Iraq’s Foreign Ministry, Araghchi described the recent talks in Muscat as constructive, with discussions primarily focused on Iran’s nuclear program. He noted that a second round of negotiations is expected to take place soon in Rome, with Oman continuing its role as mediator.
