Negotiations between Iran and the U.S. are ongoing in Geneva, with both sides signaling a willingness to reach a nuclear deal, though warnings of potential military action remain. The White House stated President Trump prioritizes diplomacy but is prepared to use force if necessary.
Iran Nuclear Deal Talks
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said a deal is “within reach” if diplomacy is prioritized, as Tehran returns to talks with the U.S. emphasizing its peaceful nuclear rights.
Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht‑Ravanchi stated Iran is ready to negotiate in good faith, but cautioned that a U.S. strike would be “a real gamble.”
U.S. Position and Potential Military Action
President Trump is holding off on ordering a strike against Iran until after Thursday’s talks in Geneva, according to reports. The decision will be guided by assessments from U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner regarding the likelihood of a deal.
The White House has affirmed that President Trump prioritizes diplomacy with Iran but remains prepared to use lethal force if needed, according to press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
