Italy will host the next round of nuclear talks between the United States and Iran, local media reported on Monday.
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, speaking at the World Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan, confirmed that the request to host the talks came from the "interested parties" and that Italy had agreed to facilitate the discussions. According to state-run ANSA news agency, Tajani expressed Italy's readiness to welcome meetings that could lead to positive results, particularly regarding Iran's nuclear issue.
Tajani also highlighted Italy's ongoing role as a center for peace and mediation, underscoring the country's diplomatic efforts on the global stage.
This announcement follows the first round of US-Iran nuclear talks, which took place in Muscat, the capital of Oman, on Saturday. The talks come amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran, especially since the return of US President Donald Trump to office in January. Trump has recently warned Iran of potential military action and increased tariffs if the two sides fail to reach an agreement on Iran's nuclear program. These remarks have been met with strong condemnation from Iranian officials.
The US, along with allies such as Israel, accuses Iran of attempting to develop nuclear weapons, a claim Tehran vehemently denies. While Iran has refused direct negotiations with the US, it has agreed to indirect talks mediated by Oman, following a recent exchange of letters between the two governments.
