Iran on Tuesday described the second round of nuclear talks with the United States as “constructive," saying both sides had agreed on “set of guiding principles" for a potential agreement.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called the latest round of talks as “more constructive" than the previous round earlier in February.

“Ultimately, we were able to reach broad agreement on a set of guiding principles, based on which we will move forward and begin working on the text of a potential agreement," Araghchi told Iranian state media.

Talks between Iran and the US in Geneva concluded on Tuesday. According to Iranian state television, the session lasted nearly three hours. No date has yet been set for a third round of discussions.
