Trump says he will be involved ‘indirectly’ in Iran nuclear talks

AI Summary

medium article 4 min

US President Donald Trump stated he will be "indirectly" involved in the upcoming second round of high-stakes nuclear talks between the US and Iran in Geneva, scheduled for Tuesday, February 17, 2026. The talks occur amid heightened tensions in the Gulf, with the US deploying a second aircraft carrier to the region. While Trump believes Iran is motivated to negotiate, major disagreements remain, including US demands for Iran to forgo uranium enrichment and discuss its missile program. Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful and seeks sanctions relief in exchange for curbs on its nuclear activities, refusing to discuss its missile capabilities. Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs Abbas Araghchi traveled to Geneva for meetings ahead of the indirect talks with the US.
