Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister announced that talks between Iranian and American delegation heads will take place in Geneva on Friday to set the terms for upcoming negotiations, according to the report. The announcement confirms the venue and date for the next diplomatic round, as the two sides continue advancing toward a deal.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister announced on Monday morning that Iranian and American delegation heads will hold talks in Geneva on Friday to establish the procedural framework for the upcoming negotiations, according to a single source from Iranian state-aligned media. The announcement formally sets the date and venue for what would be the first face-to-face meeting between the two sides at the delegation-head level in the current round.
This follows a series of reports over the past week indicating that a US-Iran agreement text has been drafted. As The Zioneer reported on Friday (June 12), a diplomat told Israeli journalist Barak Ravid that the two sides had reached a deal text pending final approval, with Vice President Vance potentially traveling to Geneva for a signing. On Sunday, the Saudi channel Al-Hadath reported that a virtual signing of a memorandum of understanding was planned, with Vance and Iran's parliament speaker representing the respective sides.
The current announcement is narrower in scope — a session focused on negotiating terms rather than a signing ceremony — and marks a concrete timeline for direct exchanges. A separate bulletin on Friday (June 12) noted that Iran's deputy FM had previously outlined a 60-day negotiation agenda covering sanctions relief, the nuclear file, and economic reconstruction. The Friday meeting may serve to operationalize that agenda.
It remains unconfirmed whether the Friday talks will lead directly to a signing, or whether they are a precursor to further rounds. The single Iranian source has not yet been corroborated by US or independent official statements.
