Iran and the U.S. hold the latest round of talks in Geneva today aimed at resolving their longstanding nuclear dispute and averting new U.S. strikes on Iran following a large-scale military buildup.
U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and U.S. President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, will attend the indirect talks with Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi.
While the talks will focus on Iran’s nuclear programme, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Iran’s refusal to discuss its ballistic missile programme was a “major problem” that would have to be addressed eventually.
The two countries renewed negotiations this month, seeking to break a decades-long impasse over Tehran’s nuclear programme, which Washington believe is aimed at building nuclear arms.
