Indirect nuclear talks between the US and Iran in Geneva have made “good progress,” according to Tehran, but major disagreements remain. The discussions, mediated by Oman, represent the closest the two countries have come to a nuclear deal in years, even as military tensions in the Gulf remain high.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told state television that both sides reached a “broad agreement on a set of guiding principles,” which gives a foundation for future talks. He said, “We now have a clear path ahead, which I think is positive,” but acknowledged that closing the remaining gaps “will take time.” The next step is for both sides to exchange draft texts before a third round of talks can be set.
