A second round of indirect nuclear talks between the United States and Iran concluded in Geneva on Tuesday after more than five hours of negotiations, with no agreement reached, according to international and Iranian media reports.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei told reporters that Tehran is willing to remain in Geneva «for days or even weeks» to secure a final deal, emphasizing that full sanctions relief remains Iran’s top priority.
«Iran is negotiating seriously and in good faith,» Baqaei said, expressing hope that Washington would demonstrate a similar commitment.
The Oman-mediated talks were conducted through indirect exchanges and followed an earlier round held on February 6 in Muscat, which revived dialogue after months of stalled diplomacy. The Geneva meeting comes amid heightened tensions, including expanded US military deployments in the Middle East and warnings from US President Donald Trump that diplomacy must deliver results.
Iran maintains that negotiations should remain focused solely on the nuclear issue and has rejected discussions on its ballistic missile program. The United States, however, is seeking broader concessions, including a halt to uranium enrichment and an end to Iranian support for regional allies such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, Yemen’s Houthis, and armed groups in Iraq, demands Tehran has repeatedly dismissed.
