IRAN’S foreign minister arrived in Geneva ahead of a second round of negotiations with the US, Iranian state television said yesterday, as Washington keeps up pressure on the Islamic republic.

According to Tehran, “indirect” Iran-US nuclear talks mediated by Oman are to be held today, although Washington has previously pushed for other topics to be discussed including Iran’s ballistic missiles and support for regional proxies.

Tehran and Washington restarted negotiations this month after previous talks collapsed when Israel launched an unprecedented bombing campaign against Iran last June.

Considerable uncertainty surrounds the fate of Iran's stockpile of more than 400kg of 60% enriched uranium that was last seen by nuclear watchdog inspectors in June.
