ROME, May 23 (Xinhua) — The fifth round of talks between Iran and the United States to resolve differences over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program began in the Italian capital Rome on Friday with the mediation of Oman, Iranian media reported.
The last round of discussions between the two sides took place on May 11 in Oman. As Italian publications note, since then tensions have arisen between Iran and the United States over the issue of uranium enrichment by the Iranian side.
The administration of US President Donald Trump reportedly sought to halt all uranium enrichment work in Iran, but Tehran rejected the concept of “zero enrichment” and demanded the lifting of economic sanctions.
Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani told the media that the Italian government “fully supports these mediation efforts.” However, as the diplomat noted, “these are certainly not easy negotiations.” –0–
