Negotiations between the US and Iran ended without a breakthrough

Hours of consultations ended without a breakthrough that could reduce the risk of a possible US strike, Reuters reports.

Indirect talks in Geneva were held between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US special representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Araghchi said that agreements had been reached on some issues, while stressing the need to lift US sanctions, which Washington is only prepared to do in exchange for significant concessions from Tehran.

“We ended the day after making significant progress in the negotiations between the United States and Iran,” said Omani Foreign Minister Said Badr Albusaidi.
