Talks between the United States and Iran over Iran's nuclear programme have begun in Muscat, the capital of Oman. 

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Iranian state television his country wanted a "fair agreement", according to BBC.

In 2018, US President Donald Trump withdrew the US from a prior nuclear deal between Iran and international powers during the Obama administration, and he has often stated that he would negotiate a "better" deal. 

Iran had so far refused to renegotiate the deal. 

Although it's unclear if the two parties will meet in the same room, the discussions are regarded as a crucial first step in determining whether an agreement can be reached. The sessions on Saturday are anticipated to concentrate on creating a framework for the talks.
