Iran and the US have agreed on "guiding principles" for a potential nuclear deal, according to Araghchi, after three hours of negotiations in Geneva with Kushner and Witkoff.
The US is amassing forces in the Middle East, with over 50 F-35, F-22, and F-16 fighter jets deployed to the region in the last 24 hours, as President Trump sends a second aircraft carrier strike group.
Araghchi described the talks as "serious, constructive and positive", saying "we now have a clearer path ahead" and both sides will work on drafts of a potential agreement, exchange texts, and determine a date for the third round of negotiations.
