Let's begin with the second round of nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran over the weekend. Fill us in.
Sure. The U.S. and Iran have concluded a second round of nuclear talks in Rome on Saturday, and agreed to hold another round this week.
On April 19, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi engaged again in indirect talks mediated by Oman at the Omani embassy in Rome.
The talks lasted for about four hours, focusing on reviving an agreement to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons while allowing for peaceful nuclear energy use.
Both sides reported progress and agreed to begin "expert-level" discussions in Muscat, Oman, starting Wednesday, with a follow-up meeting scheduled for Saturday.
Key negotiation points include how to handle Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium and how to ensure that the U.S. does not withdraw from any agreement.
The U.S. suggests transferring the uranium to a third country, possibly Russia, while Iran insists on keeping it within its borders.
