Iran says 4th round of indirect talks with US set for Rome

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has said that the fourth round of the Omani-mediated indirect nuclear talks between Iran and the US will be held in Rome on Saturday. Araghchi made the remarks on the sidelines of a Cabinet meeting in Tehran yesterday while responding to questions about the ongoing talks with the US on Tehran’s nuclear programme and Washington’s sanctions.

Araghchi told the media that the new round of discussions is scheduled to be held in the Italian capital, continuing a format aimed at reviving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of



Action (JCPOA) and facilitating the lifting of US-led sanctions.

The Rome meeting will be preceded by a separate round of consultations between Iran and the three European signatories to the 2015 nuclear accord — the UK, France, and Germany tomorrow. The first and third rounds of the indirect talks between Iran and the US, headed by the Iranian Foreign Minister and US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, were held in the Omani capital Muscat on April 12 and 26, and the second one in Rome on April 19.
