U.S. And Iran Resume Geneva Talks As Trump Weighs Strikes
Third round of Geneva talks will start Thursday as Trump says he may act within about 10 days and Iran readies a draft while U.S. forces mass near Iran.
Overview
Oman’s foreign minister, Badr Al Busaidi, said a third round of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks will be held Thursday in Geneva.
President Donald Trump said the world would find out "over the next, probably, 10 days" whether a deal would be reached or the United States would take military action.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran was preparing a draft proposal and was "still working" on it, and that the proposal lacks approval from Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
The United States has increased its military presence near Iran, including deployments of the USS Gerald R Ford and the USS Abraham Lincoln, and officials said forces would be in place by mid-March.
Lawmakers said on Feb. 18 that Representatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna would introduce a War Powers resolution to bar strikes without congressional approval.
Analysis
Center-leaning sources frame coverage as a cautious escalation narrative: editorial language (e.g., 'brutal crackdown', 'largest protests in decades') and emphasis on U.S. military buildup and political timing foreground risk. They prioritize expert warnings about escalation and human-rights death tolls (HRANA figures) while presenting Iranian officials’ quotes as source content.
