DUBAI:

Despite both Washington and Tehran taking a tough stance in public ahead of the talks on Iran's uranium enrichment, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said there was potential for progress after Oman made several proposals during the negotiations in Rome.

"We have just completed one of the most professional rounds of talks. We firmly stated Iran's position. The fact that we are now on a reasonable path, in my view, is itself a sign of progress," Araqchi told state TV.
