Iran and the United States will hold the fifth round of indirect nuclear negotiations in Rome on Friday, with Oman continuing its role as mediator. The talks come amid ongoing skepticism from Tehran and Washington’s push for a tougher deal.
The fifth round of indirect nuclear talks between Iran and the United States will be held in Rome on Friday, Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi announced in a brief statement on Wednesday evening.
Oman, which has long played a mediating role in regional diplomacy, is again facilitating the discussions between the two sides. The latest talks mark a continuation of the quiet diplomatic efforts resumed last month to address concerns over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.
The previous round of negotiations took place on May 11 in the Omani capital, Muscat.
Tensions over Iran’s nuclear program have persisted since U.S. President Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew the United States from the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018, calling for a tougher and more comprehensive deal. Trump maintains that Washington will not allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon.
Iran, for its part, has continued to insist that its nuclear activities are for peaceful purposes. However, skepticism remains on both sides about the potential outcome of the renewed dialogue.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei voiced his doubts earlier this week, saying he does not expect the negotiations to lead to “any meaningful outcome.”
