Iran, powers to meet in Oman for nuclear talks before deadline

Iran and the world powers will hold another round of sensitive nuclear talks in Muscat of Oman on Nov. 11, official IRNA news agency quoted Iran's senior nuclear negotiator Abbas Araqchi as saying on Sunday.
"The talks between Iran and the P5+1 group will be held on Nov. 11 following the trilateral meeting (between Iran's foreign minister, the U. S. secretary of state and the EU foreign policy chief) in Muscat," Araqchi said.
On Saturday, Iran confirmed an earlier report by the U.S. State Department that Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif will meet U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton in Muscat on Nov. 9-10 to discuss Iran's nuclear standoff, just two weeks before the Nov. 24 deadline for a comprehensive deal on the controversial nuclear program of the Islamic republic.
Iran's uranium enrichment and the anti-Iran sanctions will be the topic of discussions in the trilateral meeting, Araqchi added.
