Italy’s Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani announced on Monday that Rome is set to host a second round of nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran, according to Italian news agency ANSA.

Tajani stated that both countries requested Italy’s mediation to help revive stalled talks over Iran’s nuclear program. He emphasized Italy’s role as a “neutral and constructive facilitator,” although no specific date was provided for the upcoming discussions.

Previously, Iran and the US acknowledged indirect communications held in Oman, aimed at easing tensions and avoiding further escalation in the Gulf region.

This diplomatic move comes amid rising regional instability, presenting a rare opportunity to de-escalate through dialogue.
