US and Iran make significant progress in talks, will meet again soon, mediator says
Oman-mediated indirect talks in Geneva yielded significant progress on Iran's nuclear program with technical discussions set next week in Vienna, aiming to prevent regional conflict, said mediator.
- On Thursday, Oman's foreign minister Badr al‑Busaidi said Iran and the United States made significant progress in Geneva and that talks will resume soon, with technical meetings next week in Vienna.
- On Thursday, the Oman-mediated discussions follow repeated threats from Donald Trump to strike Iran, with the US president last Thursday giving Tehran 15 days to reach a deal, amid the largest U.S. military buildup in the Middle East in decades and the third round of talks this month.
- At the Omani ambassador's residence in Geneva, U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Abbas Araghchi, Iran's foreign minister, while IAEA director-general Rafael Grossi joined talks.
- Those stances leave the immediate risk that Iran insists on nuclear-only talks, rejecting proposals to transfer uranium abroad, while the U.S. demands dismantling three main nuclear sites and curbs on missiles and proxies.
- Rights groups report that nationwide protests and a January crackdown left thousands dead, Brent crude trades around $70 a barrel amid rising regional risks, and analysts noted Iran's constructive proposals and the U.S. return signal continued talks.
