The second round of indirect talks between Iran and the United States on Tehran's nuclear program will begin in the Italian capital of Rome on Saturday.
The new round comes a week after the Omani capital of Muscat hosted the inaugural talks last Saturday. Oman will continue to act as a mediator during the second round, while Italy will act as a host nation.
"If they [US] demonstrate seriousness of intent and do not make unrealistic demands, reaching agreements is possible," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told a press conference in Moscow a day earlier.
