The<br \/>\nUnited States, he said, had previously agreed to these principles during<br \/>\nearlier rounds of talks.<\/p>\n<p>The new <a href=\"https:\/\/shafaq.com\/en\/Middle-East\/Second-US-Iran-nuclear-talks-set-for-Geneva\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">meeting<\/a> with Washington followed the February 6<br \/>\nindirect talks in Muscat, which both sides described as a constructive start<br \/>\ndespite remaining differences. Tehran maintains that negotiations should focus<br \/>\nsolely on the nuclear program and rejects any negotiations on its missile<br \/>\ncapabilities, while Washington is pressing for broader concessions, including<br \/>\nhalting enrichment and ending support for regional allies such as Lebanon&#8217;s<br \/>\nHezbollah, Yemen&#8217;s Ansarallah, and armed groups in Iraq, proposals Iranian<br \/>\nofficials have repeatedly rejected.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shafaq.com\/en\/Report\/US-Iran-Muscat-talks-A-diplomatic-opening-shadowed-by-red-lines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Read more: US-Iran Muscat talks: A diplomatic opening shadowed by red lines<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2026-02-15T17:00:31+00:00 font Enable Reading Mode A- A A+ Shafaq News- Tehran (Updated at 20:12) Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7805,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[5424,1979,65,6094,6044,714],"class_list":{"0":"post-7804","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-geneva","8":"tag-abbas-araghchi","9":"tag-breaking","10":"tag-geneva","11":"tag-irans-fm-heads-to-geneva-for-us-nuclear-talks","12":"tag-nuclear-talks","13":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7804","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7804"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7804\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7805"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7804"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
