Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is en route to Zurich aboard the government plane 'Iran03', according to a report. His arrival joins a wider diplomatic concentration in Switzerland, where US envoys Witkoff and Kushner are already present alongside Qatari and Pakistani delegations for nuclear talks.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is en route to Zurich, Switzerland, aboard the government aircraft 'Iran03', according to a single-source report from a curated Iranian channel. The flight, reported at 19:48 Jerusalem time, updates Araghchi's itinerary after earlier reports (The Zioneer, 18:53) indicated he was heading to Zurich for talks with his counterpart.
This follows a day of intensive movement around the Swiss diplomatic track. US envoy Steve Witkoff landed in Switzerland earlier Saturday (The Zioneer, 14:31), joining second Trump envoy Jared Kushner who arrived by early Saturday (The Zioneer, 02:03). Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani also arrived Friday afternoon, and a Pakistani delegation is present for mediation efforts.
The diplomatic surge comes amid reports that a US-Iran agreement could be finalized, with Prime Minister Netanyahu warning it may be signed as early as Sunday. Tehran has publicly conditioned nuclear negotiations on a ceasefire in Lebanon (The Zioneer article, 10:38 Saturday). No official confirmation of a signing ceremony or specific meeting timetable has been released.
