Iran, US to resume nuclear discussions
Cape Argus
|May 12, 2025
TOP Iranian and US negotiators resumed talks yesterday to address disputes over Tehran's nuclear programme, Îranian state media reported, in a push for progress as Washington hardens its stance ahead of US President Donald Trump’s Middle East visit.
-
Though Tehran and Washington both have said they prefer diplomacy to resolve the decades-long dispute, they remain deeply divided on several red lines that negotiators will have to circumvent to reach a new nuclear deal and avert future military action.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff will hold the fourth round of talks in Muscat through Omani mediators, despite Washington taking a tough stance in public that Iranian officials said would not help the negotiations.
Araqchi, before departing for Muscat, told Iranian state TV that “Iran has well-known positions based on clear principles... We hope to reach a decisive stance in Sunday’s meeting”.
He added that Iran's expert team was in Oman and “will be consulted if necessary”.

SA’s naval drill was not about taking sides
RECENT media commentary on South Africa’s participation in a joint naval exercise with China, Russia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates has been marked by a familiar charge: that Pretoria has compromised its professed nonaligned stance and, in doing so, damaged the credibility of its foreign policy.

Elite continuity undermines justice
IT SEEMS a strange day to wake up to news that cast former presidents Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma as allies - cartoons must surely follow soon that strangely, different to public opinion, will show them on the same side of history, different to earlier satire that painted their rivalry as one that reshaped the country.
