Iran and the United States are set to begin
another round of nuclear negotiations in Geneva as both sides attempt to
address long-standing disputes over Tehran’s nuclear programme.
The discussions are expected to take place through indirect channels, with mediation support, following earlier contacts held this month. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is leading Tehran’s delegation, accompanied by technical experts.
Washington will be represented by senior officials tasked with handling nuclear and regional security matters. The talks are aimed at easing tensions and exploring the possibility of reviving understandings related to nuclear restrictions and sanctions relief.
The United States has repeatedly called for limits on Iran’s uranium enrichment activities and greater transparency. Iran, meanwhile, maintains that its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes and has linked any concessions to the lifting of economic sanctions.
Previous negotiations had stalled amid rising regional tensions and disagreements over the scope of commitments from both sides. Diplomatic sources indicate that while expectations remain cautious, both countries are seeking to prevent further escalation.
The outcome of the Geneva discussions is likely to have wider implications for regional stability and international efforts to manage nuclear concerns.
