Iran has announced its withdrawal from the new round of nuclear negotiations with the United States, which was scheduled to take place in Muscat, Oman on Sunday.

Oman News Agency and Iranian state television reported that the talks, diplomatic efforts aimed at restricting Iran's nuclear program, have been suspended until further notice, a decision that follows the recent Israeli airstrikes on Iran.

The cancelled session had been expected to address disagreements over uranium enrichment limits and US sanctions relief.

Several previous rounds of US-Iran talks, at which Iran has rejected US demands to end all nuclear programs, have been held in Oman. US President Donald Trump has expressed his hope that Iran should make a deal with the US on the nuclear issue to avoid more attacks.
