A source in Switzerland reports that negotiations continue uninterrupted, according to an update Sunday night. The source characterized threats of withdrawal from either side as theatrical posturing aimed at their respective domestic bases, asserting that both parties want a deal at any price.
A source in Switzerland told an unverified channel Sunday night that negotiations between Iran and the United States are continuing without interruption, contradicting earlier reports of a walkout by the Iranian delegation. The source said both sides' threats of withdrawal and “departure” are aimed at the “stupid base” of each party, and that in reality both Iran and the US want a deal at any cost.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, the talks have seen dramatic swings. At approximately 20:00 Jerusalem, a diplomat told journalist Barak Ravid that Iran had not withdrawn. Minutes later, at 20:00 Jerusalem, Ravid himself confirmed the Iranian delegation remained at the table. At 20:00 Jerusalem, an Iranian source told Reuters the talks were suspended, not concluded—a nuance that clashed with earlier claims of a walkout. This new Swiss source update, arriving at 23:20 Jerusalem, suggests the process is still actively underway behind the scenes.
The Swiss source's characterization echoes earlier background: As The Zioneer reported on Sun 23:16 Jerusalem, negotiations were expected to continue late into the night with Qatari and Pakistani mediators present. The current update aligns with that trajectory and frames the earlier crisis reports as theatrical.
It remains unclear whether the Swiss source is a diplomat, mediator, or official with direct knowledge of the proceedings. The status of the Iranian delegation's actual presence at the negotiation table is not independently confirmed.
