Talks between Iran and the U.S. wrapped up in Geneva Thursday as officials cited “significant progress” and announced a next meeting set for Vienna within days.<\/p>\n

Yet despite senior U.S. officials describing the third round as “positive,” per Axios<\/a>, Iranian state television also reported that Tehran will continue enriching uranium and rejected proposals to transfer it abroad.<\/p>\n

According to The Associated Press<\/a> , the reports claimed Iran would also push for the lifting of international sanctions \u2014 signaling it is not prepared to meet President Donald Trump\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n

The negotiations were carried out primarily indirectly, with Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi relaying messages between the two sides.<\/p>\n

In a post on X, al-Busaidi confirmed that the round had concluded and said discussions would resume soon.<\/p>\n

“We have finished the day after significant progress in the negotiation between the United States and Iran,” he said on X.<\/p>\n

“We will resume soon after consultation in the respective capitals. Discussions on a technical level will take place next week in Vienna. I am grateful to all concerned for their efforts: the negotiators, the IAEA, and our hosts, the Swiss government,” al-Busaidi said.<\/p>\n

There was no immediate public statement from U.S. or Iranian officials after the session.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s special Middle East envoy<\/a>, Steve Witkoff, attended the three-hour negotiations with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.<\/p>\n

IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi was also involved, with Iranian officials presenting a draft proposal for a potential nuclear agreement with the U.S., which has key demands.<\/p>\n

Iran insists it has the right to enrich uranium and has appeared to refuse to negotiate over other issues, including its long-range missile program and support for armed groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah.<\/p>\n

Trump, meanwhile, insists on a deal to curb Iran\u2019s nuclear program. In his State of the Union address<\/a> Feb. 24, the president said he prefers a diplomatic solution.<\/p>\n

“My preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy, but one thing is certain: I will never allow the world’s number one sponsor of terror<\/a>, which they are by far, to have a nuclear weapon,” the president said. “Can’t let that happen.”<\/p>\n

As the Geneva talks unfolded Thursday, Ali Shamkhani, a senior adviser to Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei<\/a>, also wrote on X that if the main U.S. concern is preventing a nuclear weapon, that stance “aligns” with Khamenei\u2019s fatwa and Iran\u2019s defensive doctrine.<\/p>\n

He added that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has “sufficient support and authority” to come to a final agreement in the talks.<\/p>\n

The development came as the U.S. continues assembling military assets<\/a>, including a fleet of aircraft and warships in the Middle East.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to the White House for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
