Nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran in Geneva have been described as “positive”, according to a report by Axios citing a U.S. official.
The talks took place in Switzerland and involved U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, who met Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
Although the meeting was described overall as positive, Axios reported that the U.S. side had been “disappointed” with Iran’s positions during the morning session, citing a source familiar with the discussions.
The two sides plan to resume negotiations soon after consultations in their countries' capitals, with techical-level discussions scheduled to take place next week in Vienna, Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Albusaidi said in a post on X after the day's talks ended in Switzerland.
"We have finished the day after significant progress in the negotiation between the United States and Iran," the Omani foreign minister said.
A senior Iranian official had told Reuters earlier that the U.S. and Iran could reach a framework for a deal if Washington separates "nuclear and non-nuclear issues."
Speaking later on Thursday evening, Araghchi said Tehran and Washington had “moved closer to agreement” on certain issues and that seriousness on both sides “was more evident than before.”
Addressing reporters after the third round of indirect nuclear negotiations in Geneva, he said the two sides had agreed that technical teams would begin detailed discussions and reviews in Vienna starting Monday.
A further round of negotiations will be held in less than a week, he added.
Following the conclusion of the talks, Oman’s Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi said there had been “significant progress” in the negotiations between Tehran and Washington.
Oman has been mediating contacts between the two sides as efforts continue to revive diplomatic engagement over Iran’s nuclear programme.
No joint statement from the United States or Iran was immediately released.
