Secretary of Iran's top security body says to visit Oman Tuesday
The secretary of Iran's top security body said he will visit Oman on Tuesday, as the Gulf sultanate mediates nuclear talks between the Islamic republic and the United States.
Ali Larijani will head a delegation that "will meet with senior officials of the Sultanate of Oman and discuss the latest regional and international developments, as well as bilateral cooperation at various levels", according to a statement posted on his Telegram account on Monday.
Iran and the United States resumed dialogue in Oman on Friday for the first time since the 12-day Iran-Israel war last June, which was briefly joined by the U.S. military.
I messaged an Iranian scholar in the US:
Treasury Secretary Bessent admits to Congress that the US engineered the dollar shortage in Iran that triggered hyperinflation and the riots. NYT finally carries the story.
The scholar replied:
This would have happened sooner or later, they just expedited it. People are in pretty dire situation as almost all consumer good and most of food has to come from abroad and the exchange rate with dollar and even Chinese yuan is falling fast.
