Iran: US must drop ‘excessive demands’ in nuclear talks
Iran demands the US drop broad conditions on missiles and regional support to advance nuclear deal talks, with technical discussions continuing under Omani mediation.
- On February 27, 2026, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi said the US must drop 'excessive demands' after Geneva talks that showed progress.
- Since resuming talks last month, U.S. officials have pressed for Iran to dismantle nuclear infrastructure, curb ballistic missiles and stop supporting regional allies, following a Feb 19, 2026 15-day deadline and Oman-mediated talks in Geneva.
- Officials said Aragchi posted that the latest round was 'the most intense so far' and that negotiators had finished the day after significant progress, agreeing to continue detailed engagement on sanctions and nuclear steps.
- Parallel to the talks, a US military buildup including the USS Gerald R. Ford has increased escalation risk, with several countries advising evacuations and the US authorising departures.
- Technical meetings in Vienna are due to start on Monday and will include discussions on civilian uranium limits, while Iran treats its ballistic missile programme and proxies as non-negotiable.
