GENEVA, Feb. 26 (Xinhua) -- The Iranian and U.S. delegations wrapped up their new round of nuclear talks in Geneva "after significant progress in the negotiation," said Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad bin Hamood Albusaidi on Thursday.

"We will resume soon after consultation in the respective capitals. Discussions on a technical level will take place next week in Vienna," he said in a post on X.

The meeting marked the third round of indirect nuclear talks between Iran and the United States under the mediation of Oman, which began on Thursday morning.

Iran's delegation was headed by Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi, while U.S. presidential special envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner represented Washington in the negotiations.

Araghchi told Iran's state TV after the talks that "it was one of the most serious talks we had with the U.S.," and added that the two sides may hold a new round of talks within a week, according to media reports.
