Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

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

HeadlineApr 21, 2025

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.
