US special envoy's direct communication 'a step forward in achieving a mutually beneficial outcome,' says White House
US talks with Iran in the Gulf state of Oman were "very positive and constructive," the White House said Saturday in a statement.
The statement came after US presidential envoy Steven Witkoff, accompanied by US Ambassador to Oman Ana Escrogima, held talks on Saturday in the capital Muscat with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, as hosted by Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi.
Witkoff underscored to Araghchi that he had instructions from President Donald Trump "to resolve our two nations' differences through dialogue and diplomacy, if that is possible," according to the White House.
"These issues are very complicated, and Special Envoy Witkoff's direct communication today was a step forward in achieving a mutually beneficial outcome," it said.
The sides agreed to meet again next Saturday, it added.
