Iran's Foreign Minister, A. Araghchi, has arrived in Geneva for discussions concerning the country's nuclear program, with a focus on negotiations with the United States. He is expected to meet with Swiss officials, the Omani mediator, and Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency. This visit underscores Iran's attempt to engage with international powers amidst ongoing tensions regarding its nuclear ambitions.

In statements on social media, Araghchi expressed readiness for 'intensive technical talks' and conveyed that he arrived in Switzerland with 'real ideas for a fair and just' agreement. He reaffirmed that giving in to threats is not a topic for discussion, highlighting Iran's stance on maintaining its sovereignty in negotiations. The US delegation is led by special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who are expected to stay on after the nuclear discussions to participate in US-mediated talks regarding the crisis between Russia and Ukraine.

Washington and Tehran have resumed indirect negotiations as of February 6, under the shadow of threats from US President Donald Trump, who has warned of military action should an agreement over the nuclear dispute not be reached. The outcomes of these talks could significantly affect not only US-Iran relations but also the broader geopolitical landscape in the Middle East, especially concerning nuclear proliferation and regional security.
