US Vice President JD Vance and Trump envoy Jared Kushner joined Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani for overnight negotiations with Iran in Switzerland, according to Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The late-night talks signal continued high-level diplomatic pressure ahead of an expected agreement signing.
The overnight session, reported Monday morning by journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12), deepens the US-led push for a finalized deal with Iran. The presence of both Vance and Kushner — Trump's son-in-law and architect of the Abraham Accords — alongside the Qatari prime minister marks the highest-profile American diplomatic engagement with Iran in years.
As The Zioneer reported earlier this morning, Qatar PM Al Thani had already shared a photograph of himself with Vance and Kushner from the negotiations, signaling ongoing high-level engagement. The talks, which began Sunday in Switzerland, initially focused on a Lebanon ceasefire before expanding to the broader nuclear framework. A senior US diplomat told N12 Sunday night that the discussions "may run through the night."
It remains unclear whether all parties are close to signing, or whether the overnight session represents a final hurdle or an extended stalemate. Prime Minister Netanyahu warned over the weekend that a deal could be finalized as soon as this Sunday — the current date as of press time.
