Tehran’s foreign minister will travel to Moscow this week for consultations over Iran’s nuclear talks with the United States. Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that its Minister Abbas Araghchi will visit the Iranian ally later this week. During the visit, Araghchi will meet his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov in Moscow. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said, Araghchi’s visit to Russia was planned in advance, but there will be consultations regarding the talks with the US. The announcement of the trip came as details emerged regarding a second set of talks between Iran and the United States to follow up on an initial meeting over the weekend in Oman. Iran and the US said over the weekend that they had held positive and constructive talks although the negotiations remain indirect with Oman acting as mediator. The two nations have agreed to reconvene on Saturday. As per the media reports, Rome will play host, though Iran reportedly prefers Geneva.
