US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff will meet Iranian officials for a third round of talks on a nuclear deal this month, the US said on Thursday, as the businessman pursues a new agreement that would appease both Israel and the West. The United States said Thursday that President Donald Trump 's confidant Steve Witkoff will meet Iranian officials for the third straight week as the adversaries seek a nuclear deal. Witkoff, a businessman friend of Trump who has become his globe-trotting negotiator, last met Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Saturday in Rome, where they reported progress and called for talks among technical teams.
The State Department announced that Witkoff would himself attend the technical talks to take place Saturday in Oman -- where he held his first meeting with Araghchi on April 12. “The next round of talks will take place in Oman on Saturday, and will be the first meeting of technical teams," State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce told reporters. "Special Envoy Witkoff also will be present," she said.
