Iran and the United States prepare for a second round of negotiations over Tehran’s rapidly advancing nuclear program in Rome
The talks in Italy over Easter weekend again will hinge on US billionaire Steve Witkoff, the US Mideast envoy of President Donald Trump, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. Whether the two men find common ground in the high-stakes negotiations could mean success or failure in the talks.
Araghchi has arrived in Rome to attend the second round of the talks, according to a post on his Telegram account.
