Talks in Geneva have just taken a sudden pause, but it might actually be good news! After three hours of intense back-and-forth, the United States and Iran decided to take a break this Thursday. Oman’s Foreign Minister, who is acting as the middleman, called the session “creative and positive.” This suggests that instead of fighting, both sides are actually looking at new, clever ways to settle their differences and avoid a military conflict.
The stakes couldn’t be higher for when they return later tonight. President Donald Trump has set a strict 10-day deadline, and U.S. warships are already in the region. Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are currently reviewing a new proposal from Iran that could finally freeze their nuclear program in exchange for ending the sanctions that have hurt their economy. Everyone is watching closely to see if they come back to the table with a historic deal that stops a war.
