Iran and the United States concluded their third round of indirect nuclear talks in Geneva after what Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad bin Hamood Albusaidi described as “significant progress.” He said discussions will resume after consultations in both capitals, with technical-level talks scheduled next week in Vienna.
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said the negotiations made “very good progress,” seriously addressing both nuclear issues and sanctions, and suggested another round could be held within a week. Albusaidi earlier noted “unprecedented openness” from both sides.
Reports indicate Iran rejected transferring uranium stockpiles abroad, ending enrichment, dismantling facilities, or accepting permanent restrictions. Analysts say key disagreements remain, including uranium enrichment, inspections, and Iran’s missile program. While Iran, as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, maintains its right to enrich uranium, the U.S. continues to push for limits and broader security assurances.
