The United States (US) and Iran are expected to resume indirect talks as early as Monday or Tuesday, according to an official briefed on the negotiations cited by Reuters.
Mediators are expected to hold separate talks with US and Iranian representatives. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Qatari mediators remain in the US ahead of the discussions.
The talks are expected to focus on an amended version of a seven-day proposal presented by Iran on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
