On the 26th, the United States and Iran convened their third round of high-level talks in Geneva, as reported by Iran’s state television. The discussions are anticipated to center around Iran's concrete proposal seeking significant limitations on its nuclear development, along with demands for the relief of sanctions that have impacted its economy. The urgency of these negotiations is underscored by concerns that if the US does not agree to Iran's terms, President Trump might order military action against Iran, further escalating tensions in the region.

Facilitated with the help of Oman, the talks included representatives such as US special envoy for the Middle East, Kushner, and Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif. This session follows two previous rounds of discussions that have yet to yield a conclusive framework. While specific details of Iran's nuclear proposals remain undisclosed, reports suggest that they may include halting uranium enrichment for defined periods, transferring some enriched uranium out of the country, and diluting its concentration - all under a multinational joint venture to manage enrichment processes. President Rouhani expressed optimism regarding this round of talks, suggesting there could be an end to the current state of neither war nor peace.

However, the core disagreement remains significant, as the US has insisted on Iran's complete abandonment of its nuclear development program, while Iran maintains that certain peaceful uses of nuclear energy are their rights under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). This foundational difference represents a major hurdle in reaching an agreement that satisfies both parties, as the prospect of military confrontation looms as an alternative to failure in diplomacy.
