Tehran -Washington Negotiations in Oman: How can Iran maintain the initiative?

The indirect negotiations between Iran and the US due on Saturday in Oman will take place with Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi and US special envoy in the Middle East affairs, Steve Witkoff. A choice that indicates Tehran’s intelligent management in determining the framework of the dialogue.

According to Negaheno report the negotiations due on Saturday will take place while US president Donald Trump is trying to describe it as a direct negotiation through media projection and to put Iran under public scrutiny.Yet, Tehran’s emphasis on indirect negotiations and Oman’s mediatory stance shows Iran’s predomination over the diplomatic process. In addition to media conflict, the US and Israel are trying to preserve this threatening approach within the negotiations.Choosing Oman as the mediator and the one to manage the negotiation outline shows that in contrast with Washington’s media propaganda, not only Iran stands in a strong position but also the negotiation procedures are based on its interests and directed with active initiative.
