Iran, US Restart Nuclear Negotiations as Tensions Escalate
The talks, scheduled for Tuesday in Geneva, represent the second round this month following an initial meeting in Oman, which both sides described as a “good start.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, traveling to Switzerland with a senior diplomatic and technical team, wrote on X that he came “to achieve a fair and equitable deal,” adding: “What is not on the table: submission before threats.”
The US aims to push Iran into agreeing to a new nuclear framework after President Donald Trump withdrew from the 2015 agreement (JCPOA) and reimposed sanctions. Tehran maintains its nuclear program is peaceful despite US allegations of weapons development and insists it will not accept Washington’s demands for zero enrichment.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Hamid Ghanbari emphasized that any new agreement must provide economic incentives to the US to ensure long-term compliance. He noted that discussions so far have included potential cooperation in oil and gas, mining, and aircraft purchases, arguing that the original JCPOA partly failed because it lacked benefits for Washington.
