Summary
Following a constructive second round of nuclear negotiations in Rome, Iran and the US will hold a third meeting in Oman on April 26. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US special envoy Steve Witkoff expressed cautious optimism, noting the importance of upcoming expert discussions aimed at refining a potential deal regarding Iran's nuclear ambitions. Tensions are high in the region, partly due to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict and the potential for military action. The recent talks reflect a significant shift after years of animosity post-US withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal.

Negotiations between the US and Iran concerning Tehran’s nuclear program are ongoing, highlighting a historically complex relationship shaped by decades of enmity since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
