Geneva, Switzerland – Web Desk: The second round of Iran–US nuclear talks concluded in Geneva, with Tehran claiming that both sides have reached a consensus on the basic principles of a potential agreement, although several critical issues remain unresolved.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said the negotiations marked a serious step forward, adding that “the path for an agreement has begun” and that significant understanding has been reached on key points. He emphasized, however, that further discussion is required on outstanding disagreements.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reinforced Iran’s firm stance, asserting that “the United States cannot destroy the Islamic Republic of Iran.” His comments come amid rising military movements and concerns about potential conflict in the region.
Reports indicate that Washington sought to expand talks to include Iran’s missile program and other non-nuclear issues. Tehran, however, has insisted that negotiations focus solely on lifting economic sanctions in exchange for limitations on its nuclear program, and it has rejected demands to reduce uranium enrichment to zero.
Analysts suggest that the outcome of these negotiations could have far-reaching effects on Middle Eastern stability and global geopolitics, particularly amid escalating regional tensions and fears of conflict.
