United States President Donald Trump announced that a decision on Iran will be made “very quickly,” as indirect nuclear talks between the US and Iran appear set to resume in Rome this Saturday. This development follows the conclusion of a positive first round of discussions held in Oman.

According to Axios, the proposal to shift the next round of discussions to Rome originated from the Trump administration. Washington is reportedly seeking direct engagement with Iranian officials, a move Tehran has so far resisted, preferring to maintain indirect communication.

President Trump stated the initial phase of negotiations was “developing quite well,” signaling cautious optimism. The potential relocation of talks to Rome reflects ongoing diplomatic momentum and high-level engagement aimed at reviving or reforming terms around Iran’s nuclear program.

International stakeholders have responded to the dialogue. Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko told RIA Novosti that Moscow expects “concrete and tangible results” from the talks. He reiterated Russia’s support for the negotiations and stated that positive outcomes would be welcomed by the Kremlin.

In Europe, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot welcomed the ongoing talks but emphasized that any resulting agreement must align with European Union security concerns. Barrot described Iran as a “significant threat” and noted that France awaits the forthcoming International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report on Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

As Washington prepares for the next round of diplomacy, the Trump administration’s push for direct talks and its stated urgency in decision-making could shape the trajectory of the negotiations and broader geopolitical dynamics involving Iran.
