Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, said Tuesday that the U.S. and Iran have reached an understanding on the “guiding principles” for a potential nuclear deal. Araghchi described the three-hour talks in Geneva with President Trump’s envoys, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, as “serious, constructive and positive,” noting that progress had been made compared with previous meetings and that a clearer path forward has emerged. He emphasized that while the talks mark a beginning, a final agreement is not imminent.
Araghchi said that various proposals were discussed seriously and that both sides agreed to work on drafts of a potential deal, exchange texts, and set a date for a third round of negotiations. Meanwhile, the U.S. has been increasing its military presence in the Middle East, including sending a second aircraft carrier strike group to the region and deploying more than 50 fighter jets over the past 24 hours. A U.S. official described the talks as having proceeded “as expected.” The discussions signal the start of a coordinated effort to draft a formal agreement while tensions remain high in the region.
