Iran says nuclear goals unchanged as talks with US set to begin in Rome

Iran’s foreign ministry said Friday that its objectives in the nuclear negotiations remain unchanged as its delegation arrives in Rome for the fifth round of talks with the United States.

“We arrive in Rome, Italy, to continue the negotiating process we started on 23 Farvardin 1404 (12 April 2025) in Muscat. As we're entering the fifth round, our goal and goalpost remain unchanged,” the ministry’s spokesperson posted on X.

“Iran's nuclear program is the product of a long-term perseverance, resistance and resilience by a nation that takes pride in its hard-won achievements and expects their diplomats to stand firm and hold fast to our nation's rights and interests,” the post added.
