Iran to attend fifth round of indirect nuclear talks with US

Iran has agreed to a fifth round of indirect nuclear talks with the US, which will take place in Rome on Friday, following a proposal from Oman, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei disclosed.

Baghaei reaffirmed Iran's commitment to peaceful nuclear energy, including uranium enrichment, and highlighted the country's efforts to secure the lifting of US sanctions.

The previous four rounds, also mediated by Oman, began in April, with the most recent occurring in Muscat on May 11. Tehran has strongly rejected recent US demands to halt uranium enrichment.
