U.S., Iran make ‘significant progress’ in Geneva, but strikes loom

U.S. and Iranian officials held tense nuclear talks through Omani intermediaries Thursday in Geneva, with Oman’s foreign minister declaring “significant progress,” despite a massive amount of U.S. military assets still poised for conflict in the region.

Omani Foreign Minister Badr Al Busaidi said on X that technical discussions will begin next week in Vienna, even as speculation has mounted over whether the United States will launch strikes before then.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told MS NOW’s “Morning Joe” in an exclusive interview Friday that there is “no military solution for Iran’s nuclear program,” adding that “the only solution is diplomacy.”
