The second round of indirect nuclear negotiations between the U.S. and Iran has commenced in Geneva, with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announcing that both sides have reached a 'broad agreement on a set of guiding principles' that could pave the way for a potential deal. This progress follows a more constructive meeting than previous discussions, according to Iranian officials, and sets the stage for further negotiations on the text of a potential agreement. However, both sides acknowledge that significant challenges remain ahead (BBC News, February 17, 2026; The Guardian, February 17, 2026).
