Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is en route to Zurich aboard 'Iran03' for talks, according to a report. The meeting follows Araghchi's consultations with Pakistan's interior minister, as discussions on US-Iran deal implementation continue.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is en route to Zurich, Switzerland, aboard the Iranian government aircraft 'Iran03,' as of Saturday evening, according to a report. The destination was previously disclosed only as Switzerland; this report specifies the city as Zurich.
As The Zioneer reported at 15:58 Jerusalem, Araghchi met with Pakistan's Interior Minister in Tehran earlier Saturday. At 18:21 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Araghchi was scheduled to travel to Switzerland with the Pakistani interior minister to oversee implementation of commitments in the US-Iran framework, and that Pakistan indicated technical talks between the US and Iran are set for Sunday. Earlier Saturday, at 03:00 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Araghchi's plan to travel to Switzerland was conditional on a ceasefire in Lebanon; by 18:21, that condition appeared to have been met or set aside.
The diplomatic movement is part of ongoing indirect US-Iran negotiations, with Pakistan playing a reported mediation role, as The Zioneer has covered in multiple previous dispatches.
What remains open: the identity of the counterpart Araghchi will meet in Zurich has not been confirmed, and the precise agenda for the talks has not been specified.
