Talks with the United States remain confined to the nuclear file and lifting of sanctions, Iran’s foreign ministry said on Sunday.

Conservative paper backs Oman talks, sees public support defying hardliners

Apr 13, 2025, 09:26 GMT+1

A conservative Iranian newspaper welcomed the first round of nuclear talks in Oman, saying both Tehran and Washington showed intent to resolve disputes.

Jomhouri-e Eslami argued that Iran had already addressed US concerns over nuclear weapons through religious rulings, IAEA reports, and inspections.

The paper described the talks as a response to public needs, noting a positive reaction from markets.

Warning of “a noisy minority” seeking to sabotage diplomacy, it wrote in its editorial: “The triangle of wealth, coercion, and hypocrisy cannot stand against the will of the people,” urging officials to continue negotiations despite internal opposition.

Iranian daily Setareh Sobh (Morning Star) highlighted the market rebound following the start of US talks on its front page, while also characterizing the negotiations as currently without results.
