Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today.

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.
