Overview

  • Swiss authorities confirmed Geneva as the venue for indirect negotiations mediated by Oman, with sessions scheduled to start Tuesday.
  • The White House said envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will represent the United States, while Iran’s delegation is led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
  • Araghchi is set to meet Swiss and Omani counterparts and IAEA chief Rafael Grossi alongside the talks, according to Iranian officials.
  • Iranian officials indicated potential compromises on a stock exceeding 400 kg of highly enriched uranium—such as dilution or possible export—in exchange for easing U.S. sanctions, with proposals from Russia and others reported.
  • The sides remain divided over scope, with Tehran seeking nuclear-only talks and Washington pushing to address missiles and regional proxies, as a U.S. carrier presence, plans for a second deployment, Trump’s warning of severe consequences, and IRGC drills raise tensions.
