The United States and Iran are scheduled to hold a second round of talks regarding Tehran's nuclear program next week, according to the Swiss Foreign Ministry, as reported by Fortune. The talks, hosted in Geneva by Oman, follow the first round of indirect discussions on February 6. This development comes amidst heightened tensions, with former U.S. President Donald Trump having previously warned Iran of "traumatic" consequences for failing to reach an agreement.
The upcoming talks are a continuation of diplomatic efforts aimed at addressing Iran's nuclear program. Last year, similar discussions broke down in June, coinciding with an Israeli military campaign. Trump, during his presidency, repeatedly threatened military action to compel Iran to constrain its nuclear activities, a stance that drew retaliatory warnings from Tehran.
