Iranian and US diplomats are making strides in negotiations over Tehran's advancing nuclear program, as experts plan to meet for pivotal discussions in Oman. This development follows a second negotiation round in Rome, where the dialogue garnered a positive outlook for US-Iran relations.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expressed optimism about the progression of talks with his US counterpart, Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff.
