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' to facilitate further discussions on a potential deal. Araghchi stated, "Ultimately, we were able to reach broad agreement on a set of guiding principles, based on which we will move forward and begin working on the text of a potential agreement" (The Hindu, February 17, 2026). This progress is viewed positively, although both sides acknowledge that significant work remains to finalize an agreement (BBC News, February 17, 2026).
