Iranian news agency Isna reports that despite the end of the multilateral talks in Geneva, which lasted about 90 minutes, the parties continue to exchange messages on pre-agreed topics. The report suggests ongoing behind-the-scenes communication even as the formal session has concluded.
The multilateral round of talks in Geneva, which included Iranian, US, and mediating delegations, concluded Monday afternoon after about 90 minutes, according to Iranian state-affiliated news agency Isna. However, Isna reports that the parties continue to exchange messages on pre-agreed topics, indicating the diplomatic track remains active outside the formal session room.
This development follows several rounds of US-Iran talks mediated by Qatar and Pakistan. As The Zioneer reported earlier Monday, the Swiss Foreign Ministry welcomed what it called "progress" in the talks. On Sunday evening, Iranian reports detailed a joint US-Iran meeting in Geneva lasting about 80 minutes, which Tehran described as focusing on the Strait of Hormuz and sanctions. That meeting was followed by a marathon session that concluded early Monday with Iranian claims of "good progress" and the establishment of technical teams.
The nature and substance of the ongoing message-passing described by Isna remain unclear — the agency did not specify which parties are involved or what the messages contain. The broader talks address nuclear issues, sanctions relief, and regional security, and have been punctuated by walkouts and conflicting signals from both sides in previous rounds.
