TL;DR

Iran announced Saturday that a delegation will depart for talks in Switzerland, confirming the trip is moving forward despite the current escalation, according to the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson. The announcement reverses Iran's indefinite postponement of the talks last week.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Iran announced on Saturday that it will send a delegation to talks in Switzerland, according to a report from Iranian state-aligned media monitored by The Zioneer. The Foreign Ministry spokesperson said the delegation will travel to monitor the other side's commitments and demand their fulfillment. The announcement marks a reversal from Friday, when Tehran indefinitely postponed the talks, blaming Israeli strikes in Lebanon. As The Zioneer reported earlier Saturday, US Vice President JD Vance said the talks are 'progressing well' and that he would also travel to Switzerland in the coming days. A delegation's trip is now confirmed as moving forward. The exact date of the talks has not been specified.
