"Iranian and US representatives are scheduled to attend a second set of indirect negotiations mediated by Oman on Tuesday in Geneva to address Iran's nuclear program. "I am in Geneva with real ideas to achieve a fair and equitable deal," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote on X. "What is not on the table: submission before threats." For the US side, presidential envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump's son-in-law, were due to attend the Tuesday talks."
"The US has said it wants to limit Iran's nuclear program and ensure Tehran cannot develop nuclear weapons. Trump, who said he would be "indirectly" involved in the Geneva talks, has threatened to take military action against Iran over a crackdown on anti-government protests. The US president added that he believed Tehran wanted to make a deal. "I don't think they want the consequences of not making a deal," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Monday."
"US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was in Europe on Monday, said Washington hopes to reach an agreement with Tehran, despite the difficulties. "I'm not going to prejudge these talks," Rubio said. "The president always prefers peaceful outcomes and negotiated outcomes to things." Washington has also sought to expand the talks to include Iran's missile stockpile. Iran has consistently said its nuclear program serves exclusively civilian, energy-production purposes and has refused to limit its enrichment of uranium."
Iranian and US representatives will meet in Geneva for a second round of indirect, Oman-mediated negotiations to address Iran's nuclear program. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said he arrived with concrete ideas for a fair and equitable deal and rejected submission to threats. US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were scheduled to attend, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio expressed hope for an agreement while declining to prejudge the talks. The United States seeks limits to prevent Iran developing nuclear weapons and to address its missile stockpile. Iran maintains the program is for civilian energy and resists limits on enrichment, having increased uranium purity to 60%.
