Rome: The second round of nuclear dialogue between Iran and the United States ended in Rome on Saturday after a four -hour debate.
Steer Television said mediation talks between the Iranian and US delegation began a week after the first period in Oman, around 9:30 pm in the Italian capital.
According to Iranian media, nuclear talks were kept in a “constructive environment”. State TV said, “The atmosphere of these talks was constructive,” he said, adding that “further talks can be discussed in the coming days.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Iraqi and Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Watkov will indirectly hold talks with general officials, which will close messages between the two sides, Iranian officials said, adding that the first round of the first round of indirect dialogue in Muscat was declared.
At the end of the first round, Iraqi and Watticov briefly spoke, but officials from both countries have not held direct talks under former US President Barack Obama since 2015.
Iraqi, in a meeting with his Italian counterpart before the talks, said that Iran has always been committed to diplomacy and “has demanded all parties involved in the talks to take advantage of the opportunity to reach a reasonable and logical nuclear deal.”
Iranian state media quoted the Iraqi as saying that “such an agreement should respect Iran’s legitimate rights and end illegal sanctions on the country, while removing any doubts about its nuclear work.”
He said in Moscow on Friday that Iran believes that unless Washington is realistic, it is possible to reach its nuclear program agreement with the United States.
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani wrote on the X, “Rome becomes the capital of peace and dialogue.
However, Tehran has tried to eliminate the expectations of an immediate deal, after which Iranian officials speculated that sanctions could be lifted soon. Iran’s high authority, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said that this week he was “neither hope nor hopeless nor frustrated”.
For his part, Trump told reporters on Friday: “I am to stop Iran from having nuclear weapons very easily. They cannot have nuclear weapons. I want Iran to become great and prosperous and terrific.”
Meanwhile, Israel has not refused to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities in the coming months, according to Israeli officials and two others familiar with the matter.
Trump, who had terminated the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and the six powers during his first term in 2018 and resolved sanctions on Tehran, has revived his “maximum pressure” campaign on the country since returning to the White House in January.
Washington wants Iran to stop the production of highly enriched uranium, which believes its aim is to make an atom bomb.
Tehran, which has always maintained its nuclear program, is peaceful, says it is willing to discuss some sanctions for lifting sanctions, but water tight guarantees that Washington will not happen again.
Since 2019, Iran has violated it and has surpassed the boundaries of the 2015 deal on enrichment of its uranium, and more stocks have been produced, which the West says is essential for a civilian energy program.
A senior Iranian official, who described Iran’s negotiating position on the condition of anonymity, lodged his red lines as never agreed to abolish its uranium enrichment centrifuges, reducing its unanimous reserves below the 2015 agreement.
Iran also rejects defense capabilities such as its ballistic missile program and Tehran’s domestic -developed missiles.
The party of Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal, Russia, has offered “help, mediation and any role” that will be beneficial to Iran and the United States.
