Following a recently signed peace deal brokered by Pakistan and Qatar, the United States and Iran are set to hold technical-level talks in Switzerland on Sunday. The negotiations, a follow-up to the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, aim to solidify the agreement and address outstanding commitments. US Vice President JD Vance and special envoy Steve Witkoff, along with Jared Kushner, are already in Switzerland for the discussions. Iran’s delegation intends to push for the fulfillment of US obligations, specifically regarding Israel’s actions in Lebanon. Iranian officials state that full implementation of the agreement by all parties is crucial for its success, warning that failure to do so could jeopardize the entire deal. Both sides have expressed cautious optimism, with the US claiming a strong negotiating position.
