Mediator Pakistan announced that technical-level talks between the United States and Iran on their interim deal will begin on Sunday in Switzerland.

Mediator Pakistan announced Saturday that technical-level talks between the United States and Iran on their interim agreement will begin on Sunday in Switzerland. The statement resolves days of conflicting signals about the timeline for the next phase of the negotiations, which follow the signing of a memorandum of understanding in Geneva on Friday, June 12, brokered by Pakistan. As The Zioneer has reported, the talks are expected to cover legal aspects of sanctions relief, Iranian frozen assets, and the nuclear file. Previous reports had indicated Friday as a possible start date, while Iran's foreign ministry had said Friday that a planned meeting in Switzerland had been postponed. Pakistan's current announcement sets Sunday as the confirmed start for the technical track.
