Omani Minister Says U.S.-Iran Talks End In Geneva, But ‘Will Resume Soon'
2 weeks ago
Iran and the United States held talks in Geneva for a third time on Thursday as President Donald Trump seeks to delay Tehran's nuclear program while threatening it by deploying a massive number of aircraft and warships to the Middle East.
U.S. special Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff, a billionaire real estate developer and friend of Trump, met with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in an effort to convince his country to halt its enrichment of uranium, a key step to building a nuclear bomb, and curtail or stop its production of long-range missiles.
Oman’s foreign minister later said that the talks had ended in Geneva but “will resume soon.”
Iran has maintained that it will continue to enrich uranium even as its program sits in ruins following a U.S. attack in June on three of its nuclear sites. If an American attack happens, Iran has said all U.S. military bases in the Mideast will considered legitimate targets and has also threatened to attack Israel.
