U.S. negotiators are set to meet with Iran in Geneva on February 27, contingent upon Iran submitting a comprehensive nuclear deal proposal within 48 hours, Axios reports. Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi indicated on February 20 that Iran plans to finalize its nuclear proposal within two to three days for U.S. review. Analysts suggest this development could be a prelude to a potential U.S. strike on Iran, possibly during the weekend of February 28 or March 1, to mitigate the risk of a market downturn.
