The United States and Iran are expected to hold high-level talks in Switzerland on June 19 following the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) aimed at reducing tensions and opening a new diplomatic channel. Swiss authorities confirmed that discussions are planned at the Bürgenstock resort in central Switzerland.
The agreement follows weeks of diplomatic engagement involving mediators from Pakistan and Qatar. Switzerland has been coordinating with both governments to facilitate the meeting and provide the necessary diplomatic arrangements.
The planned meeting is expected to mark the first round of Iran-U.S. talks in Switzerland after the MoU process. Iranian officials have indicated that discussions could focus on sanctions, nuclear issues, reconstruction mechanisms and monitoring commitments under future agreements.
