Next round of US–Iran nuclear talks set for February 26

Iran and the United States will hold the third round of nuclear negotiations on Thursday, February 26, in Geneva.

Omani Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad al Busaidi announced the meeting on X, Caliber.Az reports.

“Pleased to confirm US-Iran negotiations are now set for Geneva this Thursday, with a positive push to go the extra mile towards finalizing the deal,” said the minister, who is serving as a mediator in the indirect negotiations between Washington and Tehran.

The upcoming negotiations follow two previous rounds of talks held earlier this month in Geneva as Washington and Tehran seek to resolve a long‑running dispute over Iran’s nuclear program.

The first round of indirect talks took place on February 6, when Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff met in Geneva to discuss possible frameworks for a deal, though no breakthrough was achieved and core issues such as uranium enrichment remained unresolved.

A second round concluded on February 17, with both sides acknowledging some progress on guiding principles but stopping short of an agreement. Reports said negotiators agreed to draft and review detailed proposals ahead of further meetings.
