Witkoff, Kushner to represent US in Iran nuclear talks in GenevaWASHINGTON, United States, Feb 16, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - US President Donald Trump's top envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner will head to Geneva this week for talks with Iranian negotiators over Tehran's nuclear program, the White House confirmed on Sunday. A US official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed to AFP that the two men, who have been Trump's lead Iran negotiators, would represent Washington for the talks. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will represent Tehran in the negotiations, his ministry reported earlier. Iran said the Geneva talks would be "indirect," as the previous round in Oman had been. After the Iran talks, Witkoff and Kushner are expected to participate in US-brokered talks between Russia and Ukraine in Geneva.
