Iranian media outlets report that the Iranian negotiating delegation has left the talks site, according to Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12) citing reports. The claim emerges amid conflicting signals over the status of US-Iran nuclear negotiations.
Iranian media outlets report that the delegation has now left the talks site, according to journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The report arrives just after a day of contradictory signals: As The Zioneer first reported at 19:24 on Sunday, Hezbollah-affiliated Al Manar outlet claimed the delegation had departed, while state television reported it was consulting with no clear return set. By 22:24, journalist Barak Ravid cited sources saying the delegation had not abandoned talks in Oman. At 23:25, Iranian state TV released footage of the delegation leaving Switzerland. The new media reports, as of 23:32 Jerusalem on Sunday, add fresh uncertainty over the delegation's status.
Antecedents: At 18:25 Sunday, delegation spokesperson Marandi ruled out further talks. At 19:24, Al Manar first reported departure; state TV said the delegation was consulting. Yet at 22:24, Ravid's report denied abandonment. At 23:21, IRGC-affiliated Tasnim suggested the delegation may return without a deal. At 23:25, state TV aired departure footage. The thread moved from a single Hezbollah-aligned source (Al Manar) to multiple Iranian state outlets and Israeli journalist reports, but the corroboration is still fragmented — no official US or Iranian confirmation.
Background: As The Zioneer reported over the past week (June 10-12), Qatari mediation left Tehran without progress; missile launchers were moved to new positions; the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim signaled skepticism about a US deal. These signals have framed the talks as fragile.
What remains open: The nature of the departure — walkout, routine break, or final exit — is unconfirmed. No official statement from Iran's government or the US has been issued. The report originates from journalist citations of Iranian media; it has not been independently verified by The Zioneer.
