Geneva : The third round of nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran begins today in Geneva, with Oman acting as a mediator between the two sides.
The discussions will primarily address the scope of Iran’s nuclear program, uranium enrichment levels, and monitoring mechanisms. Ahead of the talks, Tehran has submitted a detailed written proposal emphasizing that its nuclear capabilities are strictly civilian in nature and will not be used for military purposes.
The Iranian delegation will be led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, while the US team will include Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and former advisor Jared Kushner. The Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is also expected to participate in the negotiations.
Among the key points is Iran’s proposal to reduce or partially export its uranium stockpile, a move aimed at addressing US concerns over nuclear proliferation. Washington has also expressed worries about Iran’s missile program and broader regional security, while Tehran is pushing for a comprehensive, long-term agreement rather than a temporary deal.
This round reflects ongoing efforts by both countries to reach common ground on critical nuclear issues, with the outcome likely to influence regional stability and global non-proliferation efforts.
