Geneva/Tehran, February 26 (Xinhua) — The third round of indirect Iranian-American nuclear talks, brokered by Oman, began in Geneva, Switzerland, Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency reported on Thursday.
The current round of talks on Iran's nuclear program comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States over the increased American military presence in West Asia.
At around 9:00 a.m. local time, delegations from both sides arrived at the Omani ambassador's residence in Geneva for talks. Security was heightened around the building, with police posted along the perimeter.
According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, on Wednesday evening, before the start of the talks, the head of the Iranian delegation, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, met with Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi and outlined the Islamic Republic's views on nuclear issues and the lifting of sanctions, as well as conveying Tehran's key considerations.
A. Araghchi emphasized that “the success of negotiations depends on the seriousness of the other party, as well as on whether it will avoid contradictory behavior and positions.”
On Tuesday, he said on the social media site X that Iran was approaching the talks with the determination to reach a "fair and equitable" agreement as soon as possible.
US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he prefers to resolve the situation with Iran through diplomacy. "But one thing is certain: I will never allow… Iran to have nuclear weapons," he noted.
The current meeting follows two rounds of proximity nuclear talks held earlier this month. The first was held in the Omani capital of Muscat on February 6, and the second in Geneva on February 17. –0–
