Will Geneva talks end in stalemate?

BATTLEFORWORLD.COM | February 17, 2026: Iran and the United States are expected to meet in Geneva to discuss Iran’s nuclear issue and the lifting of sanctions in more details. – Iran says it is ready to consider US proposals at the talks, but noted that only in the context of issues related to Iran’s nuclear program and the lifting of sanctions against Tehran.

Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not hide the fact that he’s trying to influence the negotiation process between Iran and the United States to hinder an agreement on Iran’s nuclear issue. “By setting conditions or proposing restrictions, Israel is seeking to influence the American agenda. Israel’s goal is to create obstacles to an agreement, not diplomatic progress,” the Iranian source said, commenting on the upcoming talks in Geneva on February 17 and Israel’s push regarding demands ahead of the new round of Iran-US dialogue.

Also taking place in Geneva is the hosting of a new round of trilateral negotiations between Russia, the US and Ukraine regarding the settlement of the conflict, and the talks are scheduled to last two days. The Russian delegation has arrived in Geneva to start negotiations between Russia, the United States and Ukraine.

(Battleforworld.com: What is going on with Iran and Ukraine, the ruling elites managing the West are at the heart of these conflicts. And President Donald Trump and his administration team, some are noting that anything honest, fair and trustworthy coming from them is an impossibility. And then there’s Israel use of the Epstein files to navigate western politicians into servitude to bring about greater Israel. – Will Iran and Russia take a stand and say enough is enough?)

President Trump is itching to target Russia’s shadow fleet, and the Kremlin is now discussing the use of Russia’s Navy to curb the brinkmanship being implemented by the West. Russia’s veteran national security official Nikolay Patrushev, who heads a naval policymaking body, is calling for stronger action against Western moves targeting vessels. He warns that the West is trying to paralyze Russian foreign trade and this behavior will only intensify. And that “Unless we push back forcefully, soon the English, the French, and even the Balts will get brazen enough to try and block our nation’s access to at least the Atlantic,” and “the Europeans are in essence making steps to impose a naval blockade, deliberately pushing towards a military escalation, testing the limits of our patience and provoking our retaliation. If the situation is not resolved peacefully, the Navy will be breaking and lifting the blockade,” Patrushev said. He also noted that “Let’s not forget that plenty of vessels sail the seas under European flags. We may get curious about what they are shipping and where,” and highlighted that “the old practice of ‘gunboat diplomacy’ is being revived,” citing US operations targeting Venezuela and Iran.

Just like Venezuela, the United States Pentagon is now concentrating military assets in the Middle East as Trump pressures Iran to accept restrictions dictated by Israel on its missile deterrence.

Russia is now moving into position, and sees its navy as “a geopolitical tool that combines might with flexibility and is suitable for both peacetime and armed conflicts,” Patrushev said. And he believes that strength is needed to protect Russia’s “ability to export oil, grain and fertilizers, and the normal functioning of the state.”

The question is asked: Will the Geneva talks end in stalemate?

There is a quatrain by the French seer Nostradamus, Century IX-44:

Leave, leave Geneva everyone,
Saturn will change from gold into iron.
Those against RAYPOZ* will all be exterminated.
Before the rush the sky will show signs. …

Trump walking into all out war?
