Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that dialogue remains the key to peacefully resolving disputes, following recent indirect talks between Iran and the United States in Oman. In a post on social media platform X on Sunday, he said the discussions, supported by regional countries, signaled a step forward in reducing tensions. Pezeshkian emphasized that Tehran has always prioritized dialogue for peaceful solutions and reiterated that Iran’s nuclear program is its legitimate right.

The talks came after heightened tensions triggered by US President Donald Trump’s threats of military action against Iran. Following the first round of discussions in Oman on Friday, Iranian negotiator Abbas Araghchi described the meeting as a good start but warned that if Washington targets Iranian territory, Tehran would strike US bases in the region. He also confirmed that a second round of talks with the United States would take place soon.

The renewed diplomatic engagement suggests cautious optimism for de-escalation, though both sides remain firm on national security and sovereignty issues.
