Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Herbst. The U.S. and Iran plan to hold new talks in Geneva Thursday, according to Iran's foreign minister. The goal? Averting what Iran says could be a regional war if the U.S. attacks. NPR's Jaina Raff has more.
Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Arakji, said he will probably meet with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff on Thursday in Geneva. In the latest negotiations on Iran's nuclear program, Oman, which has facilitated the talks, confirmed the plan. Arakji made the comments in a CBS interview in which he also said there was a good chance for a diplomatic solution on the issue. The U.S. has built up its military presence in the Middle East to the highest level in decades to back threats of an attack on Iran if negotiations fail. The U.S. administration insists that Iran not enrich uranium. Iran says the program is for peaceful purposes, while the International Nuclear Watchdog says it has not seen evidence that Iran is building a bomb.
