Oman confirms new round of US-Iran talks despite enrichment dispute
Briefly

A fifth round of nuclear negotiations between the US and Iran is set for Friday in Rome, as both nations face deepening divides over uranium enrichment. US officials demand that Iran not only curtail its nuclear program but eliminate uranium enrichment, a stance Iran firmly rejects. Tehran's Supreme Leader asserts that enrichment is a sovereign right, resulting in contrasting positions that complicate discussions. Additionally, Washington claims Iran could rely on imported enriched uranium for civilian purposes, while Tehran insists on its right to enrich for energy production.
Badr Albusaidi confirmed that Iran and the US will resume nuclear talks in Rome, despite significant disagreements on uranium enrichment, underscoring the ongoing diplomatic tension.
US officials seek to halt Iran's uranium enrichment entirely, while Iran maintains enrichment is its sovereign right, creating a substantial division between the two nations.
