Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson told IRNA that morning bilateral meetings with Pakistani and Qatari delegations have been set, followed by a quadrilateral meeting between the Iranian and US delegations with representatives from Qatar and Pakistan present, according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The schedule confirms another round of indirect US-Iran talks facilitated by the two mediating countries.
Iran's Foreign Ministry announced the schedule for Sunday's diplomatic meetings in what appears to be a continuation of mediated talks with the United States. According to the ministry spokesperson, as reported by Amichai Stein (i24NEWS) citing Iran's IRNA, morning sessions will include separate bilateral meetings with Pakistani and Qatari delegations. In the afternoon, a quadrilateral meeting is planned between the Iranian and American delegations, with Qatari and Pakistani representatives present.
The format mirrors recent rounds of talks, including the Friday meeting in Geneva led by Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister and US delegation head, as The Zioneer reported on June 15. A quadrilateral framework, with Qatar and Pakistan acting as mediators and message carriers between the Iranian and American sides, has emerged as the established channel for these negotiations. The talks focus on implementing a memorandum of understanding signed between Iran and the US, as reported in prior rounds.
What remains unclear is whether this Sunday session is the same meeting referenced by Iran's Foreign Ministry on Friday, when it said it was arranging talks for 'in the coming days' and indicated the MOU had been signed digitally. The venue for today's meetings has not been stated. The spokesperson did not provide a specific time for the quadrilateral meeting beyond 'afternoon.'
