In Geneva today, the U.S. and Iran concluded a third round of indirect and at times direct

negotiations. Iranian officials announced that technical talks will begin on Monday with the UN nuclear watchdog.

That suggests some possible progress as the United States deploys the largest military presence to the Middle East in more than 20 years.

In Geneva today, U.S. envoy Steve Whitkoff and President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner,

held crucial negotiations with Iran.

At first, indirect through Oman's foreign minister and then direct.

Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Arachi, signaled positive momentum.

We made a very good progress. We were able to define the main elements of a possible deal,

and we discussed about those elements. Of course, there are still differences.

But in most of the cases, we have at least a general understanding how to resolve those questions.

That, despite an official briefed on the talks telling PBS NewsHour that the U.S. demanded

Iran destroy its three main nuclear enrichment sites, Fordo, Isfahan, and Natanz.

The same sites struck by American bombers last summer. And the official said the U.S. team demanded

Iran get rid of its highly enriched uranium, which Iran says was buried during the strike on the

Fordo enrichment plant. Iran announced that buried during the strike on the fordo enrichment plant.

Iran announced that technical talks would start on Monday in Vienna, and a fourth round of

political negotiations would be scheduled in a week.

They want to start all over again, and are at this moment again pursuing their sinister ambitions.

This week in his State of the Union address, President Trump,

vowed that he would not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon.

My preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy.
