US, Iran report progress in nuclear talks, will meet again

The United States and Iran made progress in high-stakes talks about Tehran’s nuclear programme, agreeing to meet again next week after a four-hour session in Rome mediated by Oman. Iranian diplomat Abbas Araghchi called the meeting “good,” noting improved understanding of principles and goals, while the US official confirmed significant progress in discussions. The ongoing negotiations aim to secure a binding deal ensuring Iran’s nuclear program remains peaceful, amidst concerns from Western nations regarding Iran’s nuclear ambitions and the impact of the 2015 nuclear agreement withdrawal.
