GENEVA — Indirect nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran concluded in Geneva on Tuesday, with both sides reporting progress on guiding principles but stopping short of a formal deal.
The talks, hosted at the Omani Embassy in Switzerland, were mediated by Oman’s foreign ministry amid ongoing regional tensions over Iran’s nuclear programme.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi described the discussions as “very serious,” noting that both sides had agreed on main principles for a potential future deal, though key issues remain unresolved.
Omani officials called the negotiations constructive, with focus on technical matters including uranium enrichment and sanctions relief. Analysts say the broad agreement on principles could pave the way for further discussions.
No formal agreement was announced, and delegations departed Geneva after the talks concluded. The United States has continued to pressure Tehran to curb nuclear activities, while Iran seeks relief from economic sanctions in return for cooperation.
Further meetings are expected, though no dates have been confirmed. Experts note that while agreement on principles is encouraging, core differences persist on nuclear enrichment and verification measures.
