TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran said Wednesday the next round of negotiations over its rapidly advancing nuclear program it will have with the United States will be in Rome on Saturday.

By Parisa Hafezi MUSCAT (Reuters) -Top Iranian and U.S. negotiators began a new round of indirect talks on Saturday to hammer out a deal curbing Tehran's nuclear programme, while U.S. President Donald Trump signalled confidence in clinching a new pact that would block Iran's path to a nuclear bomb.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi nor US envoy Steve Witkoff led the talks aimed at limiting Iran’s nuclear programme in exchange for the lifting of some of the crushing economic sanctions the US has imposed on the Islamic republic for decades.
