In a surprising twist at the fifth Oman-mediated nuclear talks in Rome, the head of the U.S. delegation, Steve Witkoff, exited the session just minutes into the dialogue due to a tight flight schedule. According to Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei, his departure was a brief but notable logistical hiccup.
The discussions, steered by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and U.S. special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, continue under Oman’s mediation as both parties push forward on key nuclear issues. Despite the sudden exit, the talks highlight the resilience and determination of the negotiators to make progress even amidst scheduling challenges. ✈️
This development adds an unexpected twist to the dynamic process, almost like a plot twist in a blockbuster movie. Stay tuned for fresh updates on this unfolding diplomatic story! 💬
