The indirect talks between Iran and the United States in Oman's Muscat were "a good start," with both sides agreeing to continue negotiations in the future, Iran's Fars News Agency reported Friday, citing Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi.

Noting that the talks took place in "a positive atmosphere," Araghchi, heading the Iranian delegation, said the two sides will first hold consultations in their capitals, and then decide how and when it will be regarding the next round of talks.
