A third round of indirect nuclear talks between the United States and Iran concluded in Geneva on Thursday without an agreement, though Oman's Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi, who mediated, reported significant progress. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the sides had identified the main elements of a potential deal after roughly six hours of discussions, which included morning and afternoon sessions. Technical teams from both sides are due to meet at the IAEA headquarters in Vienna the following week to continue negotiations.
