The US envoy, Steve Whitchov, and the highest diplomat of Iran, began in the second round of the talks, where the Trump administration is pressuring the Islamic Republic to agree to a deal to reverse its nuclear progress.

On Saturday in Rome between Wikov and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragichi, it is very important to end a year between Washington and Tehran, which risks opposing the Middle East.

According to the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Oman has long mediated between opponents at its ambassador’s headquarters in Rome, where the two delegations held discussions in separate rooms.

After indirect talks in Amman at the end of last week – the first between the Trump administration and the republic – the United States and Iran described the discussions as positive and constructive. But this week, US officials gave mixed signals about what President Donald Trump expected that Iran would agree.

Witkoff suggested at the beginning of the week that the United States may be ready to allow Tehran to continue enriching uranium at low levels. But the next day he said that Iran “must stop and remove” the nuclear enrichment program to secure a deal with Trump.

This will be a red line for Ayatollah Ali Khawni, the supreme leader of Iran, who insists on the right to the right to do so Underproof In light of the international non -proliferation treaty.

Aragici said that Iran was “completely dangerous” in the Rome talks and will not change its position. He urged the United States to show “consistency” in its messages.

“We have received contradictory signals from the United States,” he told Iranian journalists on Friday. “For us, what is said on the negotiating table is the standard.” “We clearly explained our position in response to these unacceptable American positions,” he added.

Iran has expanded the enrichment program since Trump withdrew in its first term of the nuclear agreement signed by Tehran with the Obama administration, the European authorities, Russia and China in 2015.

Under this deal, Iran has agreed to strict restrictions on its nuclear activity, including enriching uranium to levels not exceeding 3.67 percent of purity, compared to sanctions.

But Iran has enriched uranium at levels of up to 60 percent for the past four years and has the ability to produce sufficient explanation materials required for nuclear bombs within weeks.

“Iran does not build a nuclear weapon and that Khameneini did not re -mandate the nuclear weapons program that it suspended in 2003,” said the annual threat assessment report of the US intelligence community last month.

Trump insisted that he wants to solve diplomatic crises, but he warned that America would take military measures, along with Israel, if Iran does not agree to a deal. The United States has deployed additional powers in the region in recent weeks, including the second aircraft carrier and bombers.

Iran pledged revenge for any attack.

During the National Army Day on Friday, Iran offered the Russian S-300 missile system, which was believed to have been destroyed in the Israeli strike last year on the infrastructure of the Iranian defense radar. The government media reported that the regime, known as the Bavar-373 in Iran, was presented in the show that was “promoted”, which was rebuilt by Iranian engineers.
