Iranian delegation heads to nuclear talks in Rome

The United States and Iran are set to resume high-stakes talks on Tehran's nuclear programme, a week after an initial round of discussions that both sides described as "constructive". Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Rome, where he was set to join Oman-mediated talks with US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff. 

The meeting comes a week after the two sides conducted what Iran called indirect talks in Muscat. Those were the first discussions at such a high level between the foes since US President Donald Trump abandoned a landmark nuclear accord in 2018.
