Despite earlier threats to leave, the Iranian delegation has remained in Switzerland for negotiations, according to Israel Hayom. The report comes after a day of diplomatic turmoil Sunday in which the delegation briefly departed talks and headed toward Tehran before turning back around.
Monday morning update: Despite earlier threats to withdraw from the U.S.-mediated talks in Switzerland, the Iranian delegation has remained at the negotiating table, according to Israel Hayom. The report follows a dramatic Sunday in which the delegation briefly departed and headed back toward Tehran — reportedly after President Trump issued a threat — before turning around and resuming negotiations.
As The Zioneer has reported in depth, Sunday's diplomatic rollercoaster included Press TV releasing footage of the delegation leaving, contradictory claims from Tehran and Swiss sources about the status of the talks, and a Swiss source characterizing the walkout threats as theatrical posturing aimed at 'stupid bases' back home. A SAME-THREAD item from 20:51 Jerusalem Sunday quoted an Iranian source telling Reuters the talks had been 'suspended, not concluded.'
This one-sentence report from Israel Hayom is the latest indication that the talks remain alive, but it carries no additional detail on what changed overnight or the current state of negotiations. The broader picture — with U.S. Vice President Vance en route to Switzerland, the IRGC maintaining its Strait of Hormuz closure, and IDF operations in Lebanon continuing — remains fluid.
