The Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic described the second round of new negotiations with the United States as "constructive," but stated that both sides still have positions that require work to bring them closer together.

Abbas Araghchi said on Tuesday after the conclusion of these negotiations at the Omani embassy in Geneva, to the Islamic Republic's television, that "the path to an agreement has begun, but we will not reach it quickly."

He also stated that the timing for the next round of negotiations is still unclear, and the parties are expected to conduct consultations in their capitals. The Iranian Foreign Minister added, "It was agreed that both sides would work on the texts of a potential agreement, and then we would exchange these texts, after which we would set another date for the third round."

Representing Iran, Abbas Araghchi and his accompanying delegation participated in these discussions, while from the United States, as before, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were present in the U.S. delegation.
