Iran did not accept Trump's conditions: Geneva talks ended without agreement - WSJ

The negotiations between the US and Iran, which took place on February 26 in Geneva, did not bring any results - the parties were unable to agree on a new nuclear agreement. This is reported by The Wall Street Journal.

According to the publication, representatives of US President Donald Trump - Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner - insisted that Tehran dismantle three key nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan, as well as transfer all stocks of enriched uranium to Washington.

In addition, the American side stated that the new agreement should be indefinite, unlike the agreement of the Barack Obama administration, which Trump withdrew from during his first presidential term and restored tough sanctions against Iran.

At the same time, Iran rejected the demands to transfer uranium abroad, stop enrichment and dismantle nuclear infrastructure. Tehran also opposes permanent restrictions on its nuclear program.

Despite the differences, the Omani Foreign Minister and the US representative announced some progress in the negotiations and did not rule out a new meeting. Technical consultations are expected to continue next week in Vienna.

Earlier, Trump, during his address to Congress, stated that Iran continues to develop nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles capable of reaching US territory. According to open sources, Washington also warned of the possibility of military action in the event of failure of diplomacy and increased its military presence in the region.

As a reminder, the US insists on lifelong restrictions on Iran's nuclear program.
