A new round of talks between the United States and Iran on Tehran's nuclear program will be held in Rome, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani said on Monday.

He noted that Italy agreed to host the meeting following requests from the negotiating parties and Oman, which is serving as a mediator. Tajani made the remarks while visiting the Italian pavilion at Expo 2025 in Osaka, Ansa news agency reported.

He added that the Italian government is "prepared to do everything necessary to support negotiations that could lead to resolving the nuclear issue and building peace."

A first round of indirect talks between U.S. and Iranian officials was held in Oman on April 12.

These were the first such discussions since the United States withdrew in 2018 from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was signed in 2015.
