CNN quoted informed sources as revealing that talks between Washington and Tehran are close to reaching a comprehensive agreement that could be concluded during the next meeting.

CNN indicated that the next round of negotiations between Iran and the United States is likely to be held in the Middle East.

"ترامب لا يريد أن ينجر إلى حرب مع #إيران باسم "إسرائيل"؛ فهذا فخ لا يرغب فيه إطلاقاً."

The Iranian Foreign Ministry denied on Wednesday a Reuters report regarding discussions about the possibility of Iran suspending uranium enrichment as part of talks with Washington.

Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei affirmed that Iran's enrichment is a "non-negotiable principle," denying the veracity of the report. 

The United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran have agreed to hold another round of discussions soon, following what US officials described as a "constructive" fifth session of nuclear-related talks held in Rome, State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said on Tuesday during a press briefing.

The spokesperson said US senior advisor and special envoy Steve Witkoff, along with Policy Planning Director Michael Anton, led the American delegation in the May 23 meeting.

“The discussions were both direct and indirect and lasted over two hours,” Bruce said, emphasizing that “the talks continue to be constructive.”

She added that both parties had agreed to reconvene in the near future, though no specific date was disclosed.

The announcement signals cautious optimism amid heightened regional tensions and political pressure from US allies, including “Israel,” which has expressed growing concern over diplomatic outreach to Tehran.

Iran warns UK over nuclear stance

Iran’s former deputy foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, criticized the UK on Tuesday for allegedly demanding "zero enrichment" in Iran, calling it a violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the UK’s obligations under the JCPOA.

Iran has maintained multilateral engagement with the UK and other European JCPOA participants in good faith, even as the U.S. continues to show no interest in getting them involved in the ongoing negotiation process.

If the UK position is 'zero enrichment' in Iran—in violation…

— Seyed Abbas Araghchi (@araghchi) May 27, 2025

Araghchi stated on X that Tehran has continued good-faith engagement with European signatories, while the US excludes them from ongoing negotiations. He warned that if the UK's stance remains unchanged, "there is nothing left for us to discuss on the nuclear issue."

Advances being made in talks

The Rome session marked the fifth round of engagement between the Trump administration and Iranian representatives as Washington seeks to reframe its nuclear diplomacy following years of breakdown and confrontation.

While the contents of the talks remain undisclosed, the emphasis on their “constructive” nature may indicate tentative progress on sensitive issues, including uranium enrichment limits and sanctions relief.

The continuation of US-Iran dialogue comes amid a wider strategic recalibration in the region, with efforts underway to prevent military escalation and reestablish communication channels that could lay the groundwork for a broader diplomatic resolution.
