Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the latest round of negotiations with the United States marked the most substantive discussions to date, describing the third session held in Geneva as “one of the most serious” so far.
Speaking to Iranian state television, Araghchi confirmed that the talks focused on both Iran’s nuclear activities and the issue of US-imposed sanctions.
According to Araghchi, the two sides managed to make progress on certain matters, though key differences remain unresolved. He stated that both delegations demonstrated “clear seriousness” about advancing toward a potential agreement.
Looking ahead, Araghchi announced that further discussions are scheduled for Monday in Vienna at the headquarters of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), where negotiators will aim to establish a structured framework addressing technical components of the nuclear file.
Despite lingering gaps, Iranian officials appear to be signaling cautious optimism as diplomatic efforts continue.

He stated that both delegations demonstrated “clear seriousness” about advancing toward a potential agreement, meaning the talks were not about the issue but about the negotiations. The next talks will be “to establish a structured framework addressing technical components of the nuclear file”, which again are talks about the talks.
This is the old Iran strategy of the negotiating about the negotiations going on and on so that Trump can’t come out and say they don’t want to give up their nuclear since there was never an actual discussion about what the talks are meant to discuss. Iran are masters at carrying on these types of negotiations over nothing that can go on for years which do not allow Trump to say they don’t want to reach an agreement which will trigger his option B which is the use of force.
In addition even if they do reach some type of agreement they just have to abide by it as long as Trump is in power. With the next president Iran’s response to claims they are violating the agreement will be to negotiate about 1. the steps they will agree to to verify they are in breach of the agreement, 2 to then negotiate about the steps they need to take to be back in compliance, and 3. most importantly the next president will have talks within his cabinet as to what the next steps should be which will be a long series of steps with none of them being the use of force.
