U.S. and Iranian officials opened a new round of indirect nuclear talks in Geneva at Oman's consulate.

President Donald Trump said Iranian negotiators have been "tough" and he hoped they would be "more reasonable." Trump said the Iranians "want to make a deal. I don't think they want the consequences of not making a deal." An Iranian official confirmed the indirect talks began in Geneva. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said he was in Geneva "to achieve a fair and equitable deal" and that "submission before threats" was not on the table.
