The Trump administration resumes negotiations with Iran regarding the nuclear program, with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff as representatives, in the context of indirect discussions.

The administration led by Donald Trump is trying to reactivate dialogue with Iran, in the context of increased regional tensions. Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law, and Steve Witkoff have been designated to represent Washington in discussions regarding the Iranian nuclear program, with a meeting scheduled for February 16 in Geneva. The American delegation will engage in indirect negotiations with a team led by Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, under the mediation of the Sultanate of Oman.

This resumption of contacts comes after a period of confrontations and the suspension of negotiations in June, following the escalation of the conflict between Iran and Israel. Tensions have been heightened by Israeli attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities and American bombings. Additionally, Washington has warned Iran about possible military interventions in the context of suppressing internal protests. The agenda of the American delegation also includes discussions regarding the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, under American mediation.
