The third round of indirect nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington commenced in Geneva, mediated by Oman. Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, presented a draft for a new nuclear agreement to the Omani mediator, demanding 'seriousness' from the US to achieve a successful negotiation.
Key points
- The US delegation includes Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, son-in-law of US President Donald Trump.
- Iran is seeking the lifting of economic sanctions in exchange for limiting its nuclear program.
- The US aims to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, with Vice President JD Vance citing indications of a nuclear program rebuild.
- Iran rejects discussions on limiting its missile arsenal or ending support for groups like Hezbollah.
Why it matters
These negotiations are potentially decisive for resolving disputes over Iran's nuclear activities and the status of US economic sanctions.
