US-Iran 5th nuclear talks in Rome conclude
Shafaq News/ The fifth round of indirect nuclear negotiations between Iran and the United States concluded on Friday in Rome after three hours of closed-door discussions, with officials citing partial progress but no breakthrough. Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi, who is mediating the process, said the talks had achieved 'some but not conclusive progress.' He added, 'We hope to clarify the remaining issues in the coming days to proceed toward a sustainable and honorable agreement.' The fifth round of Iran US talks have concluded today in Rome with some but not conclusive progress. We hope to clarify the remaining issues in the coming days, to allow us to proceed towards the common goal of reaching a sustainable and honourable agreement. — Badr Albusaidi - بدر البوسعيدي (@badralbusaidi) May 23, 2025 Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, speaking to Iranian media, described the round as 'the most professional' yet. He said Iran had clearly outlined its positions and that 'there is now a better and clearer understanding' of these positions on the American side. He noted that Albusaidi had presented new proposals aimed at bridging the gap between Tehran and Washington, and expressed hope that 'in the next one or two sessions we might find solutions that move the talks forward.' Negotiations have reportedly stalled over Iran's demand to retain its domestic uranium enrichment capabilities—something US officials have called a red line. Araghchi emphasized Iran's position remains firm, while the US insists on stronger guarantees for non-proliferation and transparency. Sources told Axios that Iranian officials warned they may move nuclear materials to undisclosed locations if Israeli threats to launch a preemptive strike materialize. Meanwhile, Israel continues to prepare for a potential military option, with concerns its operational window for such an attack could soon close. Before the Rome meeting, US envoy Steve Witkoff held talks with Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and Mossad chief David Barnea, reflecting ongoing US-Israeli coordination amid mounting skepticism in Tel Aviv.

Trump announces U.S.-Houthi ceasefire but terror group says attacks on Israel will continue
Article content Following recent discussions and contacts conducted by the Sultanate of Oman with the United States and the relevant authorities in Sana'a, in the Republic of Yemen, with the aim of de-escalation, efforts have resulted in a ceasefire agreement between the two sides. In the… — Badr Albusaidi - بدر البوسعيدي (@badralbusaidi) May 6, 2025 A Houthi social media account said after the announcement that the group would continue its attacks on Israel. 'We are committed to our operations in support of Gaza, regardless of the sacrifices it costs us,' the media office for the Houthi governor of Dhamar wrote. A U.S. official told the Associated Press that the administration had not notified Israel of the agreement with the Houthis before Trump talked about it publicly. Israel, according to this official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private diplomatic talks, was irked by the unexpected news — particularly because the Houthis have continued to launch attacks on Israel proper and other Israeli targets. On Monday, Israel conducted a wave of strikes on Yemen's Hudaydah Port in retaliation against the Houthis, who fired a ballistic missile that struck near Israel's main international airport. Dan Shapiro, former U.S. ambassador to Israel during the Obama administration and liaison to Israel on Iran during the Biden administration, called Tuesday's deal 'a win.'
