Iran has stopped indirect talks with the US in Oman over possible Israeli retaliation for the October 1 rocket attack. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the talks were suspended due to tensions in the region. The Sultanate of Oman, which has long acted as a mediator between Iran and the United States, has seen negotiations stall. Iran called off the strike in response to the killing of senior officials, including the head of Hamas and Hezbollah, as well as an Iranian general.
Iran fired about 200 missiles in response to the situation. The US assisted Israel in shooting down the missiles and joined in defending against British attack. Until the current crisis situation is overcome, negotiations remain suspended. The situation creates tension in the region and complicates further dialogue between the parties.
The Iranian general decided to end negotiations in Oman as the situation in the region became unstable due to massive rocket fire and possible retaliation from Israel. There is still no clarity on the resumption of negotiations or resolution of the conflict, which raises fears about further developments.
