Four-way talks between Iran, the United States, and mediators Pakistan and Qatar have begun at the Burgenstock resort, launching a 60-day negotiation window under the 14-point Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding signed earlier this week.
The Iranian delegation, led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, will be pressing for full implementation of the memorandum.
Iranian officials have reiterated that progress hinges on the US fulfilling its commitments under the preliminary deal, particularly its obligation to secure an end to Israeli attacks on Lebanon.
The US delegation is headed by Vice President JD Vance, who arrived in Switzerland earlier Sunday, and includes Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, accompanied by Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, is leading the mediation effort alongside Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.
