US EditionWhat to Know About the Tensions Between Iran and the US Before Their Fifth Round of Nuclear Talks
- The fifth round of indirect nuclear negotiations between Tehran and Washington is scheduled to take place on Friday in Rome, focusing on Iran's rapidly progressing nuclear program.
- The talks follow the 2018 US withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal, which let Iran enrich uranium up to 3.67%, but Iran now enriches uranium to 60% purity, near weapons-grade levels.
- Negotiations focus on limiting Iran's nuclear activities in exchange for lifting some economic sanctions amid increasing Middle East tensions and warnings from Iranian leaders.
- Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi asserted that Iran will persist in enriching uranium regardless of whether a deal is reached, highlighting that halting enrichment is a non-negotiable issue for the country.
- The talks may affect regional stability as Iran reviews participation, US sanctions persist, and leaders warn any attack could force Iran to pursue nuclear weapons development.
