Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has announced that experts from Iran and the U.S. will start meetings regarding Tehran's nuclear program, signaling progress in ongoing negotiations. These discussions follow a constructive meeting between Araghchi and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff in Rome. The two parties will continue their talks in Oman, representing a significant moment in U.S.-Iran relations after decades of tension. The talks reflect a desire to curtail Iran's nuclear ambitions and prevent potential military confrontations, especially amidst rising tensions in the region.
"The talks were held in a constructive environment and I can say that is moving forward," Araghchi told Iranian state television. "I hope that we will be in a better position after the technical talks."
"This time, we succeeded to reach a better understanding about a sort of principles and aims."
Given the decades of enmity between the two countries since the 1979 Islamic Revolution and the U.S. Embassy hostage crisis, the fact that talks are happening represents a historic moment.
Trump, in his first term, unilaterally withdrew from Iran's nuclear deal with world powers in 2018, setting off years of attacks and negotiations that failed to restore the accord.
