U.S. and Iran Report Progress in Nuclear Talks, Will Meet Again Next Week
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The United States and Iran held a second round of nuclear talks in Rome
and have agreed to meet again next week in Oman. Both sides report
progress has been made. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi spoke
after the meeting.

Abbas Araghchi: "There is no reason for too much optimism. We cannot say
that we are really optimistic. We must be very cautious, but there is no
reason for much pessimism, either. We must walk a middle path,
reasonable and calm."

In related news, Reuters reports Israel has not ruled out attacking
Iran's nuclear facilities in the coming months. The New York Times
recently reported President Trump pushed back against an Israeli plan to
attack Iran in May.
