From IsraelHaymon.com: Iran has approached Oman and Qatar with a request to mediate between Tehran and Washington over the possibility of renewing negotiations, provided Israeli attacks cease. While Oman, which has hosted some of the previous talks, has already publicized its efforts in this direction, the US is in no rush to respond.
Amid these developments, Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi announced that the latest round of nuclear talks between the US and Iran, scheduled for Sunday in Muscat, will not take place.
A senior American diplomat told Israel Hayom that Iran today holds a significantly weaker position than it did on Thursday, before the Israeli strike.
“They either failed to understand or deliberately ignored the president’s warnings, which were very clear. They tried to stall through negotiations, refused to compromise on the most basic issue that could have proven their claim they are not seeking a bomb, halting uranium enrichment on Iranian soil. Worst of all, they deceived us, continuing rapid development of their nuclear weapons program even while talks were underway,” he said.
After Israel launched their attack on Iran, President Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday at 7:34 a.m. ET: “Two months ago I gave Iran a 60 day ultimatum to “make a deal.” They should have done it! Today is day 61. I told them what to do, but they just couldn’t get there. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance!”
Just 9 minutes after Trump’s post Friday morning, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Qatar wrote on X, “As nations seek diplomatic solutions for peace in the Middle East, Israel’s actions continue to undermine the prospects for peace & put our people & global security & peace in imminent danger. The international community must stop these dangerous violations before it is too late.”
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Qatar has also posted statements on social media of phone calls on Friday with the Ministries of Foreign Affairs from Iran, Jordan, Oman, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, revealing a flurry of communications after Israel unleashed on Iran.
