US-Iran Nuclear Talks Conclude in Geneva Amid New Sanctions
The Spin
Pro-Iran narrative
Tehran showed discipline and seriousness in Geneva, holding one of its longest and most intensive rounds of negotiations. Despite U.S. threats, Iran made very good progress, advanced understanding on nuclear and sanctions issues, and set technical teams to continue work in Vienna and move even closer to an agreement. Both sides agreed to reconvene soon, proving careful negotiation, not coercion, remains the path to a durable solution.
Anti-Iran narrative
Despite mediators painting a rosy picture, Tehran showed no flexibility on uranium enrichment or its stockpiles, stonewalling U.S. demands. Post-talks, Iranian state TV even reported the regime was determined to continue enrichment and rejected proposals to transfer stockpiles abroad. With Trump's forces already massed in the region, maximum pressure and credible military deterrence remain the only way to counter Tehran's intransigence and prevent nuclear advancement.
