Storyline: The fifth round of indirect talks between the United States and Iran is expected to be held in Rome on Friday, May 23, although the location of the talks has yet to be announced. Public speculation suggests the venue might still be the Omani Embassy in Italy, where the second round of U.S.-Iran talks took place on April 19, but it could also be the Italian Foreign Ministry or another secure location. Unlike the first four rounds, where both sides found the talks positive and productive, the atmosphere before this round is highly tense due to the U.S. and Iran's refusal to compromise on core issues. Recently, U.S. officials have repeatedly demanded that Iran completely cease its uranium enrichment activities, a request that Tehran has firmly rejected, insisting the issue is "non-negotiable." Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said Thursday there will be no nuclear agreement if the United States seeks to ban Iran's uranium enrichment. He emphasized that Iran would not give up its nuclear program, including uranium enrichment. Shotlist: Rome, Italy - May 22, 2025: 1.
