Claim 3: “al-Busaidi received the senior Iranian diplomat, who conveyed a verbal message from Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi about 'the ongoing Pakistani-mediated Iranian-US negotiations.'”

DISPUTED

While evidence confirms that Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with Omani Foreign Minister Badr Al Busaidi in Muscat to discuss negotiations with the US, the evidence describes the mediation as being hosted in Muscat (Oman), not 'Pakistani-mediated'. The claim's specific detail about Pakistani mediation is not supported and is contradicted by the evidence pointing to Omani mediation.
