“I had very, very good discussions with Iran. And I do not know if I will announce something good or bad in the coming days, but I have the feeling that it will be good. I have done real progress, serious progress,” Trump said in New Jersey on Sunday, before embarking on the plane to Washington, AFP reports, quoted by Agerpres.
Winter and the US, enemies from the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which overturned a pro-Western monarchy in Iran, began on April 12 discussions on the thorny theme of the Iranian nuclear program.
“The discussions continue to be constructive”
The latest round of discussions, the fifth, took place on Friday in Rome with Oman's mediation. The discussions between the Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, and the US Emissary for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, lasted about three hours at the residence of the Omanese ambassador, according to the Iranian press.
“The discussions continue to be constructive”, and “Both sides agreed to meet again in the near future“, an important American official said after the meeting, under the condition of anonymity.
For his part, Araghchi spoke about negotiations that were “so complicated that they cannot be resolved in two or three meetings'. However, he described meetings as very “Professional”.
The discussions take place at the highest level between the two countries since the unilateral withdrawal of the United States in 2018 from the International Iranian nuclear file, concluded three years earlier in Vienna.
Donald Trump, who made this decision during his first term as president of the US (2017-2021), has re-imprisoned harsh sanctions as part of a so-called policy of “Maximum pressure”.
The US President is trying to negotiate a new agreement with the Tehran, who hopes to raise the sanctions that suffocate his economy.
