The technical track of the US-Iran negotiations in Switzerland began Monday, according to an Israeli diplomatic source. The senior Iranian delegation has left Geneva and returned to Tehran, as technical teams from both sides continue discussions.
The technical phase of the US-Iran negotiations in Switzerland opened Monday morning, according to an Israeli diplomatic source cited by the desk. The move follows a turbulent weekend in which the senior Iranian delegation briefly left Geneva before returning, amid walkout threats over Israeli strikes in Lebanon.
As The Zioneer reported over the past week, the talks have alternated between crisis and cautious progress. On Sunday the Iranian delegation was reported to have remained following a walkout threat; earlier in the week Tehran announced 'good progress' before a planned Friday session was canceled after the Lebanon strikes. The senior delegation's return to Tehran — confirmed by the same source — suggests the talks have shifted to a technical level after the political framework was set, though Iranian signaling remains mercurial. No official statement from either Washington or Tehran has been released about the new technical track or its agenda.
