Iran Foreign Ministry Calls Oman Hormuz Talks "Proceeding Positively"

🕊️ TEHRAN — Tehran signals progress through Oman while still denying US talks exist. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: "Positive" from Iran's foreign ministry is calibrated — it credits Oman, not Washington, keeping the indirect frame intact. Tehran needs a face-saving track that bypasses any bilateral optics. A "positive" Oman channel also softens Monday's baseline: if talks stall, Iran can point to Muscat as the legitimate venue. It narrows the corridor between public denial and quiet deal-making.
