By Ahmed Asmar

The fifth round of indirect negotiations between Iran and the US concluded in Rome on Friday with "some but not conclusive progress," according to Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi, whose country is mediating the talks.

In a statement on X, Albusaidi said: "We hope to clarify the remaining issues in the coming days to advance toward our common goal of reaching a sustainable and honorable agreement."

No further details were disclosed about the specific points discussed or the nature of the minor progress achieved.

Iran and the US resumed nuclear diplomacy last month, with Oman acting as mediator.
