Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi has confirmed that he will participate in indirect talks with US president's special envoy Steve Witkoff in Oman on Saturday, reports Tasnim News Agency.

The deadline for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)—i.e. the 2015 Iran nuclear deal—from which Iran partially withdrew after the US withdrew in 2018, ends on October 18.

The participating countries are sounding the alarm over the lack of a new document.
