Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi departed Tehran on Sunday for Geneva, Switzerland, to participate in the second round of indirect nuclear negotiations with the United States, according to Iranian state media.
Araghchi and his delegation left the Iranian capital specifically for these talks, which are set to occur in the Swiss city. The negotiations mark a continuation of diplomatic efforts between the two nations on Iran's nuclear program, with Oman serving as the mediator.
The IRNA state-run news agency confirmed the details on its Telegram channel, highlighting Oman's role in facilitating the discussions. This mediation underscores the indirect nature of the talks, as the two sides do not engage directly.
The journey from Tehran to Geneva on Sunday positions Araghchi at the center of these high-stakes diplomatic proceedings. The second round builds on previous negotiations, aiming to address ongoing tensions surrounding Iran's nuclear activities.
Amid regional concerns, Gulf Arab countries have issued warnings that any potential attack in the area could escalate into a broader conflict, adding urgency to the Geneva talks.
Iranian state media's reporting emphasizes the importance of these negotiations, with Araghchi's travel signaling Tehran's commitment to the process despite longstanding frictions with the US.
