Iran and the United States agreed on Saturday to start experts to start elaborating a structure for a possible nuclear agreement, Iran’s Foreign Minister said after a second round of negotiations after President Donald Trump’s military action threat.
At the second indirect meeting in one week, Iran’s Foreign Minister Araqchi, negotiated for almost four hours in Rome with Trump’s envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, through an Oman official who transmitted messages among them.
Trump, who abandoned a 2015 nuclear pact between Tehran and the world powers during his first term in 2018, threatened to attack Iran if the country does not quickly close a new agreement that prevents him from developing a nuclear weapon.
Iran, which states that its nuclear program is peaceful, says it is willing to discuss limited restrictions on atomic work in exchange for the suspension of international sanctions.
Speaking of state TV after the talks, Araqchi described them as useful and conducted in a constructive atmosphere.
“We have managed to make some progress in a number of principles and goals and, finally, we came to a better understanding,” he said.
Araqchi continued to say that it was agreed that “negotiations will continue and move to the next phase, where expert meetings will start on Wednesday (23) in Oman. Experts will have the opportunity to start projecting a structure for an agreement.”
The main negotiators will meet again in Oman next Saturday (26) to “review the work of experts and evaluate how much he aligns with the principles of a possible agreement,” he added.
There was no immediate comment on the US side after conversations.
