The Iranian Foreign Ministry called the purpose of the talks in Oman to ensure national interests.

The main goal of Iran's negotiations with the United States in Oman is to ensure the country's national interests. This was announced on April 12 by the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran, Esmail Bakai.

According to him, Tehran expects that at the current round of negotiations the parties will only exchange basic positions on the nuclear issue, so the meeting will not last long.

"This is just the beginning, so it is quite natural that at this stage the parties will exchange key positions through Omani intermediaries, so we do not expect this round of negotiations to be long," Bakai was quoted as saying by IRNA news agency.
