Iranian Minister Arakhchi has arrived in Geneva for key negotiations with the US, where both sides are seeking a path to a nuclear deal under the threat of an American ultimatum and growing military tensions. Optimism remains, but differing demands still stand in the way of an agreement.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and his negotiating team traveled to Geneva, where the third round of negotiations between Iran and the United States will take place on Thursday. The information was brought by the Iranian state television. The previous two rounds of talks, brokered by Oman, focused on reaching an agreement on Iran’s nuclear program.
- Iranian and American team hold nuclear talks in Geneva.
- The negotiations are taking place amid heightened tensions between the countries.
- Trump gave Iran an ultimatum to conclude the deal.
- Iran says it will never develop a nuclear weapon.
- The outcome may affect regional and global security.
These negotiations are taking place at a time of increased tension between the two countries. In recent weeks, the United States has increased its military presence in areas close to Iran. On February 19, US President Donald Trump issued an ultimatum to Tehran – to conclude an agreement on the nuclear program within 10 to 15 days or face military intervention. Trump has previously warned Iran against possible intervention, including in connection with the country’s violent crackdown on recent anti-government protests.
The tension is rising
On Tuesday, Iranian Minister Arakhchi expressed optimism about reaching an agreement. He emphasized on social networks that Tehran will never develop a nuclear weapon, but at the same time it will not give up the right to peaceful use of nuclear technology. According to him, the agreement with the USA is “within reach”.
On the other hand, President Trump has reiterated that he will never allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon. He accused Tehran’s leaders of pursuing “sinister nuclear ambitions” and stressed that the United States was ready to take the necessary steps to stop them.
Key negotiators
On the American side, special envoys of President Trump – Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner – will take part in the negotiations. Their role will be to enforce American demands and ensure that Iran agrees to terms that would prevent it from developing nuclear weapons. The negotiations are expected to be difficult, as the two sides have different ideas about the future of Iran’s nuclear program.
Negotiations in Geneva will be crucial for the further development of relations between Washington and Tehran. The result may affect not only regional stability, but also global security.
