ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq — Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will visit Saudi Arabia and Qatar on Saturday, coming ahead of US President Donald Trump’s scheduled tour of the Gulf next week.

Araghchi’s first stop will be Riyadh, where he will meet with key Saudi officials, before traveling to Doha for the Iran-Arab World Dialogue summit, according to a statement by ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei.

Trump will visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE from May 13 to 16.

The US president’s visit to the Middle East comes as Washington and Tehran have held three rounds of talks regarding the latter’s nuclear program since April.

A fourth round of talks is expected to be held in the Omani capital of Muscat on Sunday according to Iranian media, coming after a negotiating session pegged for the begininning of May was postponed.

The US and Western powers seek robust assurances that Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons, while Tehran maintains that its nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes and that it has no plans to develop nuclear weapons.

“Iran is not seeking nuclear weapons and has removed them from its military doctrine,” said Hossein Salami, commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), on Thursday.

Trump, who withdrew from the landmark 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers, has threatened to bomb Iran if Tehran refuses to reach an agreement with his administration on the matter.
