Iran and US resume talks on Iran's nuclear program in Rome today

The negotiations between Tehran and Washington, which began on April 12, represent the highest level of engagement since the US withdrew from the 2018 nuclear deal. President Trump has reinstated tough sanctions, and a new pact is now being sought. Iran upholds its right to civilian nuclear energy, seeing US demands as contrary to the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Iran is currently enriching uranium to 60%, exceeding the 2015 agreement but still below the level needed for military purposes.
