U.S.–Iran nuclear/peace talks (2025–2026)

Beginning April 2025, the U.S. and Iran opened indirect negotiations — primarily in Geneva, Switzerland — aimed at a broader deal covering Iran's nuclear program, ballistic missiles, U.S. sanctions relief, and regional security (including the Strait of Hormuz). The talks continued in the shadow of the June 2025 Twelve-Day War and the fragile ceasefire that followed.

Through mid-2026, negotiators completed at least three major rounds, described by participants as the "most intense" and "longest, most serious" to date. By late June 2026, Vice President JD Vance said Iran had agreed to allow nuclear inspections and that the talks created a "good foundation for a successful final deal"; reports indicated the two sides were nearing a broader peace agreement.

But no agreement has been finalized. President Trump has simultaneously said a deal would be "finalised soon" and rejected Tehran's latest proposal as "unacceptable." That is why this entry is tagged proposed — a deal is under negotiation, not yet reached. Status as of July 2026; this is the fastest-moving item on the site, verify before relying on it.

No agreed terms yet — the deal is under negotiation. Reported items on the table: limits on Iran's nuclear program and ballistic missiles, U.S. sanctions relief, regional security arrangements (Strait of Hormuz), and inspections. Subject to change until an agreement is finalized.
