Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced on Tuesday during a televised press conference attended by foreign diplomats that a new round of talks between Iran and the United States aimed at reaching a final agreement will likely begin on Friday. The talks, which will also address Tehran's nuclear program, will take place at a location yet to be determined.
