U.S.–Iran Nuclear Talks Show Signs of Progress in Geneva

Delegations from the United States and Iran met in Geneva to discuss the possibility of a new nuclear agreement, raising cautious optimism about a potential diplomatic breakthrough.

U.S. officials said progress was made during the talks. Iran’s foreign minister offered one of his most positive public assessments of negotiations with Washington, describing the discussions as serious, constructive, and positive. He also said the two sides agreed on guiding principles for a possible nuclear deal.

Oman’s foreign minister, who has served as a mediator in the talks, said he believed meaningful progress had been achieved.

Both countries are now expected to draft their respective frameworks for a potential agreement and reconvene in the coming weeks to exchange proposals.

U.S. representatives described the talks as a significant opportunity to narrow longstanding differences. However, officials did not indicate whether discussions included Iran’s ballistic missile program or human rights concerns.
