IAEA Reports Steps Forward in U.S.–Iran Nuclear Talks

The agency presses for a swift, technically verifiable plan to turn tentative movement into an accord that prevents renewed military action.

Overview

  • Indirect meetings in Geneva produced a set of guiding principles and a plan to reconvene under Omani mediation with IAEA participation.
  • IAEA chief Rafael Grossi warned that time is short to reach a deal and confirmed that most nuclear material stored before June 2025 remains at Iranian sites.
  • Iranian officials indicated openness to verification and, according to reports, floated a one‑to‑three‑year pause in enrichment with potential oil, gas and mining cooperation.
  • Iran’s atomic energy head Mohammad Eslami asserted that no country can deprive Tehran of its right to enrichment within a peaceful program.
  • U.S. officials, including Vice President JD Vance, acknowledged persistent gaps as the White House said Iran would be well advised to agree, keeping military options in view.
