"Iran's top diplomat was traveling Sunday from Tehran to Geneva where the second round of nuclear negotiations with the U.S. will take place, Iranian state media reported. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and his delegation left for the Swiss city after the first round of indirect talks took place in Oman last week. Oman will mediate the talks in Geneva, the IRNA state-run news agency reported on its Telegram channel."
"U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to use force to compel Iran to agree to constrain its nuclear program. Iran has said it would respond with an attack of its own. Trump has also threatened Iran over its deadly crackdown on recent nationwide protests. Gulf Arab countries have warned that any attack could spiral into another regional conflict. The Trump administration has maintained that Iran can have no uranium enrichment under any detail, which Tehran says it will not agree to."
Iran's top diplomat traveled from Tehran to Geneva for a second round of nuclear negotiations with the United States. The delegation left after indirect talks in Oman, which will mediate the Geneva session. Similar talks last year broke down after Israel launched a 12-day war on Iran that included U.S. bombing of nuclear sites. The U.S. has threatened force to compel Iran to constrain its nuclear program, and Iran has warned it would respond. The U.S. insists on no uranium enrichment; Iran maintains its program is peaceful though some officials have threatened pursuit of a nuclear weapon. Araghchi is expected to meet Swiss and Omani counterparts and the IAEA director general.
