A second round of nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran has ended in Geneva.

Both sides were entrenched on key issues ahead of the negotiations,

which took place amid a U.S. military buildup in the Mideast.

NPR's Jackie Northam reports.

The indirect talks were between special envoy Steve Whitkoff and President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, on the U.S. side, and Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Ahtachi.

Speaking afterwards, Adichie said the three-hour talks had made good progress

and were more constructive than earlier negotiations, but that more work needed to be done.

The U.S. has so far not commented on the talks. President Trump is firm that Iran possessed

no nuclear weapons, and so zero enrichment. Tehran insists it has the right to enrich uranium for research and civilian purposes,

but has indicated it's willing to curb its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.

It's unclear if or when another round of talks is scheduled.
