Iran accepted sweeping nuclear concessions in Geneva, exceeding JCPOA and NPT terms, yet the US and Israel launched an unprovoked war and derailed the nuclear diplomacy.

Steve Witkoff undermined the negotiations with Iran by peddling lies to build a case for military aggression, according to a report citing regional diplomats.

Pezeshkian reiterates that Iran’s opposition to promotion of nuclear weapons is rooted in theological and religious beliefs. 

President Pezeshkian has struck an upbeat tone about the prospect for a negotiated agreement for the removal of US sanctions, saying he had a "good outlook for the negotiations.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has left Tehran for Geneva ahead of a third round of talks with the US on a replacement for the 2015 nuclear deal to remove anti-Iran sanctions.

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi has warned the United States against any acts of aggression, saying a military strike would be a “real gamble” and that no one would be able to contain the ensuing war.

Iran says the country’s diplomatic apparatus is duty-bound to safeguard the rights and interests of the Iranian nation and will only accept an agreement that fully secures those priorities.
