The fifth round began at 15:00 Tehran time at the Omani ambassador’s residence in Italy. The Iranian delegation led by Seyed Abbas Araghchi and the U.S. team headed by Steve Wittkof held separate consultations with Omani Foreign Minister al-Busaidi during the talks. As in previous rounds, Oman mediated these indirect negotiations.
