Iran-US Tensions News LIVE Updates: Ready for ‘any potential scenario’, Tehran says ahead of Geneva talks

Tensions between Iran and the United States remain high as preparations for crucial talks in Geneva continue. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed optimism regarding the negotiations, noting that they have produced 'encouraging signals.' This comes amid the deployment of a second U.S. aircraft carrier to the Middle East, which heightens concerns about escalating military confrontations in the region. The U.S. has been increasing its military presence as a deterrent, which Iran perceives as a threat, complicating the diplomatic landscape. The upcoming discussions aim to address ongoing disputes, including nuclear issues and regional security, amid a backdrop of strained relations that have persisted since the U.S. withdrawal from the nuclear agreement in 2018. Both sides appear to be bracing for potential scenarios that could arise from the talks, underlining the delicate balance between dialogue and military readiness. As the international community watches closely, the outcome of these negotiations could significantly impact the geopolitical dynamics in the Middle East and beyond.
