Top level talks in Geneva

Wednesday, 18 February 2026 06:30

Hotel Intercontinental Geneva

The Ukrainian negotiations are not the only high level talks underway in Geneva.

The United States is having indirect talks with the Iranians about Tehran’s nuclear programme. 

Those talks are being hosted by the Omanis at the Geneva residence of the Oman ambassador to the UN in Cologny.

Both sets of talks have their own set of protestors.

There's little information coming out from either talks - but journalists noted the US delegation left the Oman residence after about three hours - and then travelled to the Hotel Intercontinental near the UN where the Ukrainian talks are going on.
