Oman's Foreign Minister announced that U.S. and Iranian negotiators have paused talks in Geneva, with the U.S. expected to demand the dismantling of three nuclear facilities and the surrender of enriched uranium by Iran.
Oman's Foreign Minister, Badr Al-Busaidi, reported that negotiations between American and Iranian officials in Geneva have been temporarily halted, indicating a brief pause before they resume later in the day. This pause comes amid discussions where innovative and positive ideas were exchanged among the parties involved. The talks are part of ongoing efforts to address concerns surrounding Iran's nuclear program, with hopes for further progress in negotiations.
Reports from Axios cite sources stating that key U.S. negotiators, such as Wittecoff and Kushner, engaged in over three hours of discussions with their Iranian counterpart in Geneva. These negotiations included both direct and indirect dialogues, with Iranian officials reportedly presenting their awaited draft proposal regarding a nuclear agreement. The complexity of the talks continues to arise as both parties strive to reach a consensus.
According to the Wall Street Journal, American officials are set to request specific actions from Iran, including the dismantling of three nuclear sites and the transfer of enriched uranium. The expectation is that U.S. negotiators will insist that any nuclear agreement must have indefinite validity, avoiding predetermined expiration. This development highlights the intricate nature of the negotiations and the critical implications for regional stability and international relations regarding nuclear proliferation.
