(United States, 23rd) The third round of talks between the United States and Iran is scheduled to be held on Thursday (February 26) in Geneva, Switzerland.
Reuters reported that Omani Foreign Minister Badr confirmed this matter on social media on Sunday (22nd), stating that all parties are actively promoting an agreement between the US and Iran.
The United States has strengthened its military presence in the Middle East, while growing concerns mount over the risk of military conflict between these two long-time adversaries. US President Trump recently warned that if no agreement can be reached over Iran's nuclear program—a long-standing dispute—"something very bad will happen."
Badr said: "The US-Iran talks are set for Thursday in Geneva, and both sides will make active efforts to ultimately reach an agreement."
Badr has played the role of mediator in the indirect talks between the US and Iran.
Reuters also quoted an Iranian official the same day as saying that Tehran is prepared to make concessions on its nuclear program in exchange for the US lifting sanctions and recognizing Iran’s right to uranium enrichment, aiming to avoid a US military strike.
The official stated that Tehran will seriously consider sending half of its highly enriched uranium abroad, diluting the rest, and participating in the creation of a regional uranium enrichment consortium, in exchange for US recognition of Iran's “peaceful nuclear enrichment” rights under an agreement, which would also include lifting economic sanctions on Iran.
