Storyline


Tehran residents have expressed their skepticism over the renewed diplomatic efforts between Iran and the United States in Oman.

Commenting on the indirect negotiations on Friday between Iran and the United States that focused solely on Iran's nuclear issue, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said on Saturday that they were a good "start," but there is a long way ahead to build trust.

With no defined outcome reached during the talks, uncertainty remains over whether negotiations will continue or not.

Tehran resident Elham said she doesn't have hope towards negotiations with Washington.

"They have been negotiating for almost 22 years. I think it has been over 20 years. And every day it is postponed (to next week, next year)," said Elham.

"War is not good for anyone. It is bad for the U.S., West Asia, regional countries, and also Iran. If sides can reach a rational conclusion, it is in the best interests of both," said Zare, another Tehran resident.

Tehran resident Mohsen said the indirect negotiations are fake and do not make sense.

"And it is an erosive issue regarding the new global order," said Mohsen.

With no clear timetable, sanctions still in place, and regional tensions running high, many Iranians are waiting to see whether diplomacy will bring tangible results or yet another round of delay.
