Iran has delivered a draft proposal to the United States through Omani intermediaries ahead of a new round of indirect nuclear negotiations in Geneva. Tehran says the submission will test Washington’s commitment to diplomacy, as both sides aim to build on prior agreements.

Iran presented a draft proposal to the United States on Thursday through Omani mediators, Iranian state media reported, ahead of the third round of indirect nuclear talks in Geneva. Iranian officials described the proposal as a measure to gauge the “seriousness” of the American side in pursuing diplomatic solutions.

Delegation and meetings

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, accompanied by his deputy for political affairs, Majid Takht-Ravanchi, and a team of nuclear, legal, and economic experts, arrived in Geneva on Wednesday evening. Araghchi met with Omani Foreign Minister Badr Al-Busaidi to review the proposal and coordinate the upcoming talks. Oman’s Foreign Ministry said the meeting aimed to facilitate discussions leading toward a potential agreement.

Focus on diplomatic commitment

Araghchi emphasized that progress in negotiations requires “seriousness from the other side” and avoiding contradictory positions. The draft proposal builds on guiding principles agreed upon during previous rounds held in Muscat and Geneva. The content of the proposal was not disclosed.

Geopolitical context

The talks take place amid a significant U.S. military buildup in the Persian Gulf and following a series of exercises by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Both sides expressed optimism after the last round of talks on February 17, with officials noting progress toward a potential deal. Araghchi described the upcoming round as “a historic opportunity to strike an unprecedented agreement” and stressed Iran’s determination to reach a fair and equitable resolution quickly.
