Iran-U.S. Talks: Araghchi Says No Surrender to Threats

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi emphasizes that surrendering to threats is not on the agenda as third nuclear talks with the U.S. begin.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi travels to Geneva ahead of third nuclear talks with the U.S., emphasizing balanced, fair agreement efforts.

Araghchi stated on X on Monday that he is attending Geneva meetings with “real initiatives to achieve a fair and balanced agreement,” rejecting threats.

He said that he will meet with Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, along with Iranian nuclear experts to discuss technical issues in detail.

Before diplomatic talks with the U.S. on Tuesday, Araghchi plans to meet Badr Al-Busaidi, as Oman serves as the mediator for the negotiations.

The first round of talks was held around ten days ago in Muscat, Oman. U.S. officials remain skeptical about the potential success of these negotiations.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, after meeting with Donald Trump, stressed that Iran’s enrichment facilities should be dismantled and enriched uranium removed, also including ballistic missile programs.

Iran emphasizes that only its nuclear program is subject to negotiations and insists on continuing enrichment, signaling firm boundaries despite international pressure.

The talks occur amid heightened geopolitical tension, with U.S. and Israeli officials expressing doubts and pushing for stricter limits on Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities.

The Geneva round aims to bridge differences, with diplomats cautiously optimistic yet aware that achieving a sustainable, balanced agreement remains a complex challenge.
