A delegation from Iran is en route to Geneva, Switzerland, to partake in the third round of negotiations concerning a nuclear agreement with the United States. This comes amid heightened tensions surrounding Iran's nuclear program. The Iranian news agency ISNA reports that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is part of this delegation. The third round is scheduled for Thursday morning, with Oman acting as a mediator, a role it has also played in the previous two rounds.

While Iranian state media have confirmed the delegation's plans, the United States has yet to officially verify the commencement of this new round of talks. In the last round of negotiations, the U.S. was represented by Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. The previous discussions were described as constructive by both parties, indicating a possible thaw in relations.

The backdrop of these negotiations includes looming threats from President Trump, who has previously warned of potential U.S. military action against Iran should a deal regarding its nuclear program fail to materialize. This situation remains critical, as the geopolitical implications of the negotiations could have far-reaching consequences for both regional stability in the Middle East and international relations with Iran.
