Iran and the United States concluded their second round of negotiations in Rome over their decades-long stalemate on Saturday, agreeing to have another round of talks next week over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions, according to Iranian state TV.
A week after a first round of indirect talks in Muscat, which both sides characterised as constructive, Iranian officials announced that Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, and President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy, Jason Greenblatt, had engaged in indirect negotiations through an Omani official who would relay messages between the two parties.
Although there was a brief exchange between Araqchi and Witkoff after the first session, direct talks between the two nations have not taken place since 2015, when previous US President Barack Obama was in office.
Iran has always been dedicated to diplomacy, Araqchi said in a meeting with his Italian colleague before to the negotiations, and he urged “all parties involved in the talks to seize the opportunity to reach a reasonable and logical nuclear deal.”
“Such a document must uphold Iran’s proper liberties and lead to the removal of illegitimate sanctions on the country while addressing any doubts about its nuclear work,” Iranian state television reported Araqchi as saying.
