Raw Story / AFP - Iran delegation in Oman for high-stakes nuclear talks with US

Iran's top diplomat arrived in Oman on Saturday and began laying the groundwork for high-stakes nuclear talks with the United States that are unfolding under the threat of military action.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi flew in ahead of the foes' highest-level discussions since an international agreement on Iran's nuclear programme crumbled after US President Donald Trump pulled out during his first term in office.
"Our intention is to reach a fair and honourable agreement from an equal position," Araghchi said in a video posted by Iranian state TV.
Iran, weakened by Israel's pummelling of its allies Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza, is seeking relief from wide-ranging sanctions hobbling its economy.
Tehran has agreed to the meetings despite baulking at Trump's "maximum pressure" campaign of ramping up sanctions and repeated military threats.
