Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi criticized the Munich Security Conference as a “circus,” asserting that European powers are ineffective in nuclear negotiations with the US. He noted that Gulf states like Oman and Qatar are now more impactful in facilitating talks, marking a shift away from the E3 (France, UK, Germany) as key mediators. Upcoming discussions in Geneva will focus on Iran’s nuclear program, with the US seeking to expand the agenda. Despite renewed diplomatic efforts, both sides maintain firm positions on key issues.
