Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi met with his Omani counterpart Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi on Monday ahead of the upcoming Iran-U.S. talks to be held in Geneva, according to a statement released by Oman's Foreign Ministry on social media.

The statement said the two sides discussed preparations for the next round of indirect talks between Iran and the United States, and both affirmed "the need to advance understanding toward a mutually satisfactory agreement."

Al Busaidi reiterated Oman's firm support for dialogue and mediation, and thanked the parties for their trust in Omani efforts, the statement added.

Iranian and U.S. delegations, led by Araghchi and U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff separately, held a first round of talks in Muscat on February 6. Witkoff will again lead the U.S. delegation in Geneva, according to U.S. media reports.
