Iran's Foreign Ministry announced that "good progress" was achieved in negotiations in Switzerland, that the talks between the teams have concluded, and that technical teams will continue their work. The statement comes amid conflicting signals over the status of US-Iran nuclear talks, after earlier reports of a delegation walkout Sunday.
Iran's Foreign Ministry said early Monday that negotiations with the U.S. in Switzerland have made "good progress," according to a statement carried by Channel 12 (N12). The ministry added that the talks between the teams have concluded but that technical teams will continue their work, suggesting a shift from full political talks to lower-level technical follow-up.
The announcement follows a turbulent Sunday in which the Iranian delegation briefly left the talks site and a plane carrying them headed toward Tehran before turning back, as The Zioneer reported at 23:35 and 02:47 Jerusalem. Multiple BACKGROUND reports over the past two weeks have tracked the talks' irregular pace — from a draft MOU mediated by Qatar on June 15, to an Iranian denial of a walkout on June 21, to a digital MOU signing on June 19. The new statement marks the first on-record assertion of progress from Tehran since those incidents.
It remains unclear whether the technical teams have a concrete framework to continue from. The U.S. side has not yet commented on the Iranian statement. The talks, held in Geneva/Switzerland, are part of ongoing indirect negotiations aimed at a nuclear deal.
