US EditionUS-Iran nuclear talks to resume in Geneva against backdrop of military threat
Negotiations in Geneva aim to limit Iran's uranium enrichment amid the largest US military buildup in the Middle East in decades, officials said.
- On Thursday, February 26, 2026, Iran and the United States hold indirect talks in Geneva to resolve a longstanding nuclear dispute and avert fresh U.S. strikes, with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner attending and Oman mediating.
- After a massive United States military presence in the Middle East and repeated threats from President Donald Trump, talks follow earlier this month and last year’s collapse after Israel’s June strikes that sparked a 12-day war.
- Iran insists talks remain focused on nuclear matters and sanctions relief, while U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio calls Iran's refusal to discuss ballistic missiles "a big, big problem".
- Sanctions announced ahead of the talks target more than 30 individuals and entities, while Rafael Grossi, IAEA director, arrives as Iran's stated threat to retaliate raises immediate risk to regional U.S. forces and allies.
- Cautious optimism from Tehran meets firm U.S. rhetoric as negotiators try to bridge gaps, with Abbas Araghchi saying `A deal is within reach, but only if diplomacy is given priority` and President Donald Trump stressing diplomacy but rejecting a nuclear Iran.
