US official: Progress in negotiations with Iran and details are under discussion between the two sides

A US official reported that progress has been made in negotiations with Iran, noting that many details are still being discussed between the two sides.

This came in statements by the US official (who preferred not to be named) after the second round of talks held in Geneva between the US and Iranian delegations.

The US official explained that the Iranians will return in the next two weeks with detailed proposals aimed at reducing some differences in positions.

According to the US official, the talks are expected to continue based on detailed proposals that Iran will present.

In the second round of indirect talks, the Iranian delegation was headed by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, while the US delegation was headed by US Special Envoy for Middle East Affairs Steve Witkoff and Donald Trump’s adviser Jared Kushner.

On Tuesday evening, the Sultanate of Oman announced the conclusion of indirect negotiations between Washington and Tehran with good progress, in the wake of US military build-up in the Middle East and Iranian maneuvers.

The Sultanate of Oman sponsored today’s round of negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program in the Swiss city of Geneva, after an earlier round in the capital Muscat on February 6.

Iran is demanding the lifting of sanctions in exchange for the continuation of its nuclear program within the framework of restrictions on the production of an atomic bomb.

In return, the United States is demanding that Iran halt its activities to fully enrich uranium and remove its stockpile of highly enriched uranium from the country.

The administration is also seeking to put Iran’s missile program and Tehran’s support for militant groups in the region on the agenda of negotiations, while Tehran maintains that it will not discuss any issues other than the nuclear program.

For weeks, the United States, at the instigation of Israel, has been reinforcing its military forces in the region, sending naval pieces, and threatening military action against Iran.

Tehran believes that Washington and Israel are creating pretexts for intervention and regime change in it, and it vows to respond to any military attack, even if its limited, while insisting on lifting Western economic sanctions in exchange for imposing restrictions on its nuclear program.
