Iran FM to be in Oman as US team arrives

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is on a regional diplomatic tour with stops in Pakistan, Oman, and Russia. An Iranian official stated that Araghchi's visit to Pakistan is part of his normal schedule and that he will be in Muscat by the time the senior White House delegation, including Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, arrives in Islamabad. This timing indicates the planned US-Iran talks in Pakistan may not proceed as a direct meeting, with the Iranian side potentially engaging from a distance. The development adds a new layer of complexity to the already tense diplomatic efforts.
