Delegations from the United States and Iran concluded another round of talks on Iran's nuclear program in Geneva, mediated by Oman. Omani representatives announced this on February 26.

Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi stated that the parties ended the day of negotiations after "significant progress." According to him, the next phase of consultations will take place next week in Vienna and will be conducted at a technical level.

The US delegation was represented by US Presidential Special Envoy Stephen Whitkoff and White House Advisor Jared Kushner, while the Iranian side was represented by Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi.

According to Axios, the talks were held in two sessions—morning and evening. After the first meeting, US representatives assessed the discussions cautiously, but the evening round was described as more positive.

As reported by Al Jazeera, Iran presented its own draft agreement. According to sources, Tehran is willing to temporarily suspend uranium enrichment but refuses to dismantle nuclear facilities. Meanwhile, the Iranian side agrees to reduce uranium stockpiles to low levels and is ready to provide access to IAEA inspectors.

According to CNN, citing sources close to the Iranian delegation, Tehran will agree to a deal only on condition of full cancellation of US sanctions and UN Security Council resolutions. Previously, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi had voiced a similar position.
