The Omani diplomat also said technical-level talks would take place next week in Vienna, where the International Atomic Energy Agency, which was also at the talks, is based.
The position of the two sides has seemed far apart.
President Trump insists that Iran end its nuclear program.
and give up long-range ballistic missiles.
Iran insists it has a right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes and won't give up the conventional weapons.

The foreign minister of Oman this morning is relaying Iranian counter-proposals to President Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Last night, the Omani mediator met with Iran's foreign minister.
Iran has said it sees areas of agreement on the nuclear issue, but it has also made clear that it will not discuss giving up ballistic weapons as President Trump has demanded.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters last night that that issue needed to be on the table.
Iran says no country would give up its defensive weapons.
Jane Araf, NPR News, Amman.
So Israel attacked Iran last June, and those were followed by U.S.
airstrikes just before scheduled negotiations.
So that obviously put a halt, a dramatic halt to those talks.
These ones now are an even bigger deal because of the U.S.
military buildup in the Middle East, the biggest since the U.S.
invaded Iraq in 2003.
So those U.S.
threats against Iran and the probable Iranian retaliation have raised what seems to be a very real risk of a wider war, and it has the entire region in a state of high alert.
