End of the fifth round of negotiations in Rome; limited progress in light of challenges

According to Ashura News, citing a Mehr reporter, the fifth round of indirect talks between Iran and the United States in Rome, the capital of Italy, ended with the mediation of Badr Busaidi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Oman. This round of talks was held at one of Oman’s diplomatic locations in Rome, Italy, and an Iranian delegation headed by Seyyed Abbas Araqchi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of our country, participated in it.

According to reports, the talks proceeded in a “professional and calm” atmosphere, but the parties failed to reach a final result. After the talks ended, Badr Busaidi announced that the talks had ended “with some progress,” but did not release further details of the mutual agreements.

Araqchi had also previously announced that Iran was seeking to “lift sanctions and guarantee its nuclear rights.” It is worth noting that the next round of talks will be planned after reviewing the current results and coordination between the parties.
