Top Iranian nuclear negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani was in Oman, one of the very few allies of the Islamic Republic in the Arab world and which has a history of pushing for rapprochement between Tehran and Washington.  

Bagheri Kani sat down in Muscat with Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hammad bin Hamoud al-Busaidi. Noting "historical mutual trust" between their two countries, the Iranian diplomat said Tehran and Muscat were "focused on deepening their bilateral cooperation" to improve "regional stability."
