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.

The two nations have agreed to reconvene on Saturday.
