美国和伊朗谈判代表周二在日内瓦举行了高风险会谈，特朗普总统威胁称，如果无法就伊朗核项目达成协议，将对伊斯兰共和国发动新的袭击，这一威胁在谈判中挥之不去。伊朗对此次会议的初步反应积极，但美国代表团尚未立即发布会谈结果。
由阿曼斡旋的谈判聚焦于德黑兰的核项目，但以色列领导人已向特朗普施压，要求在任何新协议中纳入对伊朗常规弹道导弹的限制。据两名知情人士透露，特朗普在去年12月告诉以色列总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡，如果无法与伊朗达成协议，美国将支持以色列对伊朗弹道导弹项目发动打击。
潜在军事行动的威胁得到了美国在伊朗周边水域大量军事存在的支持——已有一个航空母舰打击群在该地区，另一个正在前往途中。
在周二会谈开始时，伊朗最高领袖阿里·哈梅内伊在德黑兰发表的讲话中一如既往地对美国军事威胁不屑一顾，他表示：“军舰固然是危险武器，但更危险的是能够击沉它的武器。”
特朗普周一晚上在空军一号上对记者表示，他将“间接”参与谈判。他称伊朗“通常是非常强硬的谈判者”，但表示他认为伊朗政权希望达成协议。
“我认为他们不希望因不达成协议而面临后果，”他说。
美国代表团由特朗普的特使史蒂夫·维特科夫和他的女婿贾里德·库什纳率领。伊朗谈判团队由外交部长阿巴斯·阿拉格奇领导。

伊朗称“更具建设性”的会谈后达成协议的“道路已开启”
阿拉格奇在周二会谈后表示，此次谈判与几周前的上一轮一样是间接进行的，由阿曼官员在伊朗和美国代表团之间穿梭。
“与上一次相比，讨论完全是严肃的，气氛更具建设性，”据伊朗国家电视台（IRIB）报道，他说，“各方提出了各种想法并进行了认真审查。最终，我们能够就一些指导原则达成总体共识，从现在开始，我们将基于这些原则推进，着手起草潜在协议的文本。这并不意味着我们能迅速达成最终协议，但至少道路已经开启。”
此次谈判没有确定时间表，但周二的讨论在数小时后结束。
“我们希望这个过程能尽快完成，我们准备为此投入足够的时间，”阿拉格奇援引IRIB的话说，“在起草文本时，工作会变得更加详细和复杂。我认为与上一次会议相比取得了良好进展，我们现在有了更清晰的前进道路，我认为这是积极的。”
他表示，下次会议“尚未确定具体日期”，但“双方同意共同起草潜在协议草案，然后交换这些文本，之后确定第三轮会谈的日期。”
伊朗想要什么？
德黑兰迫切希望减轻美国破坏性的经济制裁。特朗普在其首个任期内单方面退出了前任奥巴马政府参与谈判的2015年国际核协议，当时伊朗已受到一长串国际制裁的限制。
此后，特朗普对伊朗实施了更严厉的经济惩罚，制裁导致伊朗财政崩溃，通货膨胀率极高，本币贬值，即使相对富裕的民众也难以负担基本生活必需品。
制裁引发的经济苦难在今年1月初爆发，引发了前所未有的抗议浪潮，而伊朗政府则以空前激烈的镇压回应。
伊朗当局在抗议期间逮捕了数千人，并继续威胁任何被视为支持骚乱的人。但为避免再次大规模起义，伊斯兰共和国领导层知道最佳选择是解除制裁，让伊朗民众能够重新负担食品和燃料。
然而，伊朗为实现这一目标不愿意做的事情至关重要。伊朗官员坚持要保留该国为平民核项目进行铀浓缩的权利。
阿拉格奇在社交媒体上发文称，他在日内瓦“带着实现公平协议的真正想法”，“不在谈判桌上的内容：屈服于威胁”。
伊朗已表示愿意就其核浓缩计划进行谈判，阿拉格奇在日内瓦会谈前会见了联合国国际原子能机构（IAEA）负责人拉斐尔·格罗西。

国际原子能机构负责监督伊朗遵守上一份核协议的情况，该协议在特朗普2018年退出后逐渐瓦解。
美国想要什么？
美国代表团可能会提出旨在限制德黑兰核能力的要求，包括可能减少或移除伊朗的浓缩铀库存，以及制定新的国际原子能机构监测计划。
但特朗普政府就此事定期与以色列协商，内塔尼亚胡坚决要求任何新协议必须包括对弹道导弹和伊朗在该地区资助代理部队的限制。以色列还表示，伊朗根本不应拥有国内核浓缩能力。
目前尚不清楚这些要求在本周日内瓦的讨论中将占多大比重。
美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥周一表示，有希望实现外交突破，并补充说特朗普“总是更喜欢和平结果和谈判结果而非其他方式”。
会谈前的情况
此次谈判是在多年虚假外交开端之后进行的——以及2025年6月的一次戏剧性升级，当时美国通过对伊朗核设施发动打击，参与了以色列为期12天的对伊朗战争。特朗普和国防部长彼得·赫格塞斯声称这些打击摧毁了伊朗的核计划，但损害程度存在争议。
在6月战争之前，伊朗以美国退出上一份核协议为由，加速推进其浓缩铀计划。国际原子能机构称，伊朗已将铀浓缩至60%纯度，这是一个技术上接近武器级的步骤，伊朗是全球唯一达到这一水平且未拥有核武器的国家。
国际原子能机构数月来一直呼吁伊朗提高透明度，与检查人员加强合作，这些检查人员继续试图监测伊朗的浓缩铀计划。
本月早些时候在阿曼举行的第一轮间接谈判中，阿拉伯国家外交部长分别与伊朗和美国谈判代表进行了会谈，特朗普称此次会议“非常好”，而阿拉格奇则称此次会议是“良好的开端”。
Iran says “clearer path ahead” to nuclear deal with U.S. after talks in Geneva under shadow of Trump’s threats
February 17, 2026 / 10:03 AM EST / CBS News
U.S. and Iranian negotiators sat down for high-stakes talks Tuesday in Geneva, with President Trump’s threat to launch a new attack on the Islamic Republic if a deal on its nuclear program can’t be hashed out looming large over the discussions. Iran’s initial reaction to the meetings was positive, but there was no immediate readout from the U.S. delegation.
The negotiations, mediated by Oman, focused on Tehran’s nuclear program, but Israel’s leader has pressed Mr. Trump to include limitations on Iran’s conventional ballistic missiles in any new agreement. Mr. Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in December that if no deal could be reached with Iran, the U.S. would support Israeli strikes on Iran’s ballistic missile program, according to two sources familiar with the matter.
That threat of potential military action is backed up by a significant U.S. military presence in the waters around Iran — with one aircraft carrier strike group already in the area and another on its way.
In a speech delivered in Tehran on Tuesday as the talks got underway, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was characteristically dismissive of the U.S. military threat, saying: “A warship is certainly a dangerous weapon, but even more dangerous is the weapon capable of sinking it.”
Speaking Monday night to reporters on Air Force One, Mr. Trump said he would be involved in the negotiations “indirectly.” He said Iran was “typically a very tough negotiator,” but said he believes the regime wants to make a deal.
“I don’t think they want the consequences of not making a deal,” he said.
The U.S. delegation in Geneva is led by Mr. Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner. The Iranian team is headed by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

Iran says “path has begun” to a deal after “more constructive” talks
Aragachi said after the Tuesday meetings that they were held indirectly, like the previous round a couple weeks ago, with Omani officials ferrying between the Iranian and U.S. delegations.
“Compared to the previous one, the discussions were completely serious and the atmosphere was more constructive,” he said, according to Iranian state TV network IRIB. “Various ideas were presented and examined seriously. Ultimately, we were able to reach a general agreement on a number of guiding principles, and from now on we will proceed on the basis of those principles and move toward drafting the text of a potential agreement. This does not mean that we can quickly reach a final agreement, but at least the path has begun.”
There was no confirmed timetable for this round of talks, but Tuesday’s discussions ended after several hours.
“We hope this process can be completed as soon as possible, and we are prepared to devote sufficient time to it,” Aragachi said, according to IRIB. “When it comes to drafting the text, the work becomes more detailed and more complex. In my view, good progress was made compared to the previous session, and we now have a clearer path ahead, which I consider positive.”
He said “no specific date has been set” for the next meetings, but that “it was agreed that both sides will work on drafts of a potential agreement, then exchange those texts, and after that determine a date for the third round.”
What does Iran want?
Tehran is desperate to get damaging U.S. economic sanctions eased. Iran was already constrained by a long list of international sanctions when President Trump, during his first term in office, pulled the U.S. unilaterally out of the 2015 international nuclear deal negotiated by his predecessor Barack Obama.
After doing so, Mr. Trump hit Iran with even more draconian economic punishment, and the sanctions have left the country’s finances in tatters, with sky-high inflation and a devaluation of the local currency making basic necessities hard to afford even for the relatively well-off.
The sanctions-induced economic suffering led to an eruption of anger in early January, sparking a wave of protests that was unprecedented — and which drew an unprecedented and violent crackdown in response.
Iranian authorities arrested thousands of people during the protests, and they have continued threatening anyone seen as having supported the unrest. But to head off another mass uprising, the Islamic Republic’s leadership knows the best option would be to get sanctions lifted so Iranians can afford food and fuel again.
What it’s not willing to do to make that happen, however, is crucial. Iranian officials have insisted on preserving the country’s right to enrich uranium for a civilian nuclear program.
In a post on social media, Araghchi said he was in Geneva “with real ideas to achieve a fair and equitable deal. What is not on the table: submission before threats.”
Iran has signaled a willingness to negotiate on its nuclear enrichment program, and Araghchi met ahead of the talks in Geneva with Rafael Grossi, the head of the United Nations’ International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

The IAEA was tasked with monitoring Iran’s adherence to the last nuclear deal, which disintegrated slowly after Mr. Trump pulled the U.S. out of the agreement in 2018.
What does the U.S. want?
The U.S. delegation is likely to push demands designed to constrain Tehran’s nuclear capabilities, including the possible reduction or removal of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile and a new IAEA monitoring plan.
But the Trump administration has consulted with Israel regularly on the matter, and Netanyahu has been adamant that any new deal with Iran must include restrictions on ballistic missiles and Iran’s funding of proxy forces in the region. Israel also says Iran should have no domestic nuclear enrichment capabilities whatsoever.
It is not clear how much those demands will factor into the discussions in Geneva this week.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Monday that there was hope for a diplomatic breakthrough, adding that President Trump “always prefers peaceful outcomes and negotiated outcomes to things.”
What preceded the talks?
This round of negotiations come after years of false diplomatic starts — and one dramatic flare-up in June of 2025, when the U.S. joined a 12-day Israeli war on Iran by conducting strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Mr. Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth claimed those strikes obliterated Iran’s nuclear program, but the extent of the damage has been disputed.
Before the June war, Iran had cited the U.S. withdrawal from the previous nuclear deal as it ramped up its enrichment program. It had started enriching uranium up to 60% purity, a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels, according to the IAEA, which said Iran was the only country in the world to enrich to that level that wasn’t armed with the bomb.
The IAEA has called on Iran for months to improve transparency and cooperation with its inspectors, who continue trying to monitor its enrichment program.
A first round of indirect talks held in Oman earlier this month, which saw the Arab nation’s foreign minister speak separately with Iranian and U.S. negotiators, was described by Mr. Trump as “very good,” while Araghchi called the meeting a “good start.”
