I believe there is still a good chance to find a diplomatic solution based on a win-win principle, and a solution is achievable for us.
The Iranian delegation plans to meet with US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to discuss specific steps to overcome differences. Omani mediators note the presence of a positive momentum that could contribute to the rapid completion of the agreement's preparation.
Araghchi also expressed hope that during the negotiations in Geneva, a high-quality document text would be developed that would satisfy the interests of both states.
Military background and threat of new strikes
The dialogue resumes under difficult conditions, as President Donald Trump continues his policy of maximum pressure, including the possibility of limited military strikes on Iran.
Two American aircraft carrier groups have already been deployed in the region, which should force Tehran to make significant concessions within the framework of a new agreement. Despite the risks of destabilization, diplomats hope that the threat of conflict will serve as an incentive to sign agreements as soon as possible.
