— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇴🇲 NEW: Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, did not let the U.S. CENTCOM commander into the negotiations room for over 20 minutes, and when Oman's Foreign Minister Al-Busaidi let him in, Araqchi refused to shake his hand – Omani Media

@Middle_East_Spectator

Because many are asking: Yes, there was brief direct contact between Araqchi and the American delegation in the 'reception room', where hands were shaken and greetings exchanged—as is common practice

But the actual negotiations took part by exchanging messages through Oman's Foreign Minister, Al-Busaidi.

Furthermore, Araqchi refused to allow U.S. CENTCOM commander to attend negotiations (as stated above) but agreed eventually in order to respect the host country. Araqchi didn't shake his hand, unlike he did with Witkoff and Kushner.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump: 'A deal with Iran that only includes nuclear is acceptable.'

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump: 'Iran needs to stop going for nuclear weapons. If they want to make a deal where they have no nuclear weapons, we would have agreed to it two years ago.'

@Middle_East_Spectator

Yeah, the problem is that Trump's version of 'no nuclear weapons' includes zero enrichment, for whatever reason.

Iran's version of 'no nuclear weapons' includes the right to peaceful uranium enrichment, which is recognized by the UN.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump: 'We are having very good talks with Iran. I think they want to make a deal more than ever. Last time they didn't want to, for whatever reason.'

(Note: Iran was bombed by the U.S. and Israel in the middle of the last negotiations)
