GENEVA ¨C Iran and the U.S. are set to hold the latest round of talks in Geneva on Thursday aimed at resolving their longstanding nuclear dispute and averting new U.S. strikes on Iran following a large-scale military buildup.
The two countries renewed negotiations this month, hoping to tackle a decadeslong standoff over Tehran¡¯s nuclear program, which Washington, other Western states and Israel believe is aimed at building nuclear arms. Tehran denies this.
U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and U.S. President Donald Trump¡¯s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, will attend the indirect talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, a U.S. official said. The talks follow discussions in Geneva last week and will be mediated by Oman¡¯s Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi.
