Switzerland: New USA-Iran talks next week
New talks between the USA and Iran are scheduled to take place in Geneva next week, facilitated by Switzerland and mediated by Oman.
Switzerland will host new negotiations between the United States and Iran in Geneva next week, as confirmed by the Swiss Foreign Ministry. A spokesperson stated that Switzerland is always ready to facilitate dialogue between the two nations. The exact date for these indirect talks has not been specified, indicating ongoing uncertainty in the diplomatic process.
The previous round of talks, held on February 6, focused solely on Iran's nuclear program, omitting discussions on the country's missile programβa point of contention raised by several countries, including Israel. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi described the earlier discussions as a 'good start' for the renewed dialogue, suggesting that there is potential for further engagement between the parties.
In addition to the USA-Iran discussions, Geneva is also set to be the venue for negotiations involving Russia, Ukraine, and the USA regarding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. This reflects Switzerland's role as a neutral ground for international diplomacy, potentially impacting multiple geopolitical issues during a crucial time.
