Al-Arabiya reports from a senior Iranian official that the next round of US-Iran negotiations is scheduled for June 28-29 at the Bürgenstock resort in Switzerland. The official added that Tehran will not discuss its missile program and will not halt its weapons and nuclear industries.
A senior Iranian official told Saudi-owned channel Al-Arabiya that the next round of US-Iran talks is set for June 28-29 at the Bürgenstock resort in Switzerland — the same venue where high-level talks earlier this month concluded with a 60-day roadmap toward a final deal, as The Zioneer reported on June 22. The official added that Iran will not discuss its ballistic missile program and will not halt its weapons and nuclear industries during the talks.
The announcement follows several rounds of technical and high-level talks over recent weeks. On June 15, Iran's deputy foreign minister confirmed talks in Geneva. On June 18, a Saudi channel reported a first technical round in Zurich. The Biden administration (here the context is Trump's statement on June 15) and Iranian officials have exchanged proposals on enrichment suspension, sanctions relief, and regional issues.
Tehran's preconditions — excluding the missile program and weapons industries from the agenda — signal continued friction ahead of the expected final-stage negotiations. No confirmation from Washington or the Swiss host was immediately available.
