Iran to Return with Proposals After ‘Progress’ in US Talks

The US official noted that progress has been made on the nuclear agreement. “Progress has been made, but there are still many details that need to be discussed. The Iranians have said they will come back within the next two weeks with detailed proposals to address some of the obvious gaps in our positions,” the official said.

US envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner held talks with Iranian officials in Geneva on Tuesday (local time).

While President Donald Trump issued a stern warning about the “consequences of no deal” ahead of critical diplomatic talks planned to be held in Geneva, both countries preferred to take a stance before the negotiations. He asked Iran to be “reasonable” in the next round of negotiations on the nuclear deal and reminded Tehran of the B-2 bomber strike in June 2025.

However, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also issued a stern warning to Trump, claiming that even the strongest army could face a devastating collapse.

Referring to the increasing American naval presence in the region, the Religious Leader claimed that US equipment remained vulnerable to Iranian countermeasures. Khamenei said, “Americans constantly say that they sent a warship to Iran. Of course, a warship is a dangerous military equipment. But what is more dangerous than that warship is the weapon that can send that warship to the bottom of the sea.”

Iran and the United States held previous rounds of nuclear talks in April 2025. The Iran nuclear deal dates back to July 2015, when the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was signed between Iran and several world powers, including the United States, which limited Tehran’s enrichment level to 3.67 percent and reduced its uranium stockpile to 300 kilograms. The agreement collapsed in 2018 when Trump unilaterally withdrew the United States from the agreement.
