U.S. and Iran say progress made in 'positive' nuclear talks

The United States and Iran made progress in their nuclear talks on Saturday, with both sides agreeing to meet again next week as they work toward a deal aimed at easing Middle East tensions. U.S. officials described the talks as positive and productive, while Iran’s top diplomat emphasized the need for the two sides to narrow differences ahead of the next round of discussions. This rare high-level engagement between long-time adversaries is targeting a new agreement that would halt Iran’s nuclear weapons program in exchange for sanctions relief—a stance Tehran denies.
