Trump Admin Makes ‘Very Good’ Progress With Iran, More Talks Coming

U.S. negotiators reported “very good” progress in a second round of nuclear talks with Iran in Rome and plan to meet their Iranian counterparts again next week.

According to a U.S. official, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and President Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff engaged in more than four hours of direct and indirect discussions, The Hill reported.

“We agreed to meet again next week and are grateful to our Omani partners for facilitating these talks and to our Italian partners for hosting us today,” a senior U.S. administration official said, per the outlet.

Saturday’s meeting signaled progress as President Trump continues to push for a new agreement with Iran amid Tehran’s accelerating nuclear program. Trump has repeatedly stated that Iran must not be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon and has suggested that if diplomacy fails, military action could be on the table.
