Iran's representative to the UN in Geneva said no decision has yet been made on a date for the next meeting between Iranian and American representatives, including Vice President JD Vance and parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, according to the Iranian the source. Despite the uncertainty over timing, the envoy said another round of talks is expected to take place.
Iran's UN representative in Geneva said Wednesday that a date has not yet been set for the next round of US-Iran talks, which were expected to follow earlier rounds between Vice President JD Vance and parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf. The statement, reported by an Iranian the source, introduces uncertainty over the timeline of a diplomatic track that has seen multiple rounds of indirect and direct contacts in recent weeks. The envoy said another round is still expected, without specifying a venue or time.
As The Zioneer reported, the last publicly confirmed date for a high-level meeting was Friday, June 19, when Ghalibaf led the Iranian delegation. US Vice President Vance has described the talks as potentially transformative for Middle East relations. The current status of a reported memorandum of understanding signing remains unclear; earlier this week, reports from Al-Hadath suggested a virtual signing was imminent, but no such event has been confirmed.
While the Iranian representative's remarks signal that talks have not collapsed, the lack of a confirmed date represents a departure from the steady pace of back-to-back rounds seen in recent weeks. The delay's cause — whether logistical, substantive, or procedural — was not stated.
