The U.S. and Iran opened a second round of negotiations Saturday in Rome over Tehran’s accelerating nuclear program, according to officials from both nations. Talks are being held at the Omani Embassy, with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi at the center of the diplomacy.
Mediated by Oman, the talks come amid heightened Middle East tensions and fears of a potential military strike if diplomacy fails. Iran, under pressure from internal unrest and economic turmoil, seeks relief from sanctions and stabilization.
Though progress is uncertain, both nations have signaled openness to a deal, with Russia potentially playing a key role by taking custody of Iran’s enriched uranium.
