The Omani News Agency reported that the discussions dealt with “the developments in the Iranian-American negotiations, ways to reach a balanced and fair agreement between the two sides, and emphasizing the importance of returning to the dialogue and negotiation table to bring viewpoints closer and resolve differences by peaceful means to bring peace and security to the region and the world.”
While in Muscat, Larijani warned against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s interference in the negotiations, according to his post on the X platform.
In his post, Larijani urged the United States to be "vigilant" regarding Israel's "subversive role" before Netanyahu headed to Washington.
Larijani also met with Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi, who was the mediator in the indirect negotiations with the Americans, according to photos posted on the Iranian official’s Telegram account.
Larijani also discussed with Muhammad Abdel Salam, spokesman for the Yemeni Houthis, who are supported by Iran.
After Muscat, Larijani will head to Qatar, according to what Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei announced.
The negotiations were held between Washington and Tehran in light of an American threat to use force, and they are the first since the war launched by Israel against Iran last June in which American forces participated.
Tehran wants the negotiations to be limited to its nuclear program, without addressing other issues, including its missile program.
