— ❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇮🇹 NEW: The next round of US-Iran talks will take place in Rome, Italy, after the U.S. requested a change of venue

The change in location was made due to ‘political and practical’ reasons, according to sources. Reportedly, the United States did not like the ‘symbolism’ of having to travel all the way to Oman, a country near Iran.

Additionally, dialogue is expected to intensify in the next few weeks, with possible direct negotiations coming up, and the flight time from Washington to Muscat would be too long for frequent discussions.
