High-Stakes Diplomacy: US-Iran Nuclear Talks Resume Amid Tensions
The US and Iran are set to hold a second round of talks in Geneva next week over Tehran's nuclear programme. Tensions remain high, with President Trump threatening military action if no agreement is reached. The talks follow stalled negotiations last year and rising regional conflicts.

The United States and Iran will engage in a second phase of negotiations concerning Tehran's nuclear programme next week, as confirmed by the Swiss Foreign Ministry. The talks, set to occur in Geneva, follow preliminary indirect discussions held on February 6, which took place under the auspices of Oman.
Tensions persist with US President Donald Trump issuing warnings that failure to strike a deal would usher in dire consequences. Last year’s talks were disrupted by a 12-day conflict initiated by Israel against Iran, which included US intervention in the form of bombings on Iranian nuclear sites.
Awaiting an anticipated resolution, the dialogue's primary concern hinges on Iran's uranium enrichment activities, which Iran insists are for peaceful purposes, despite the US demanding they halt enrichment entirely. The gathering will also see discussions potentially broadening to address Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities.
