Switzerland’s foreign ministry has confirmed that negotiations linked to a US-Iran memorandum of understanding are continuing in the resort town of Buergenstock. The talks are being held under strict confidentiality and aim to transform the interim agreement into a broader regional settlement. The development signals ongoing diplomatic engagement between the two countries.
According to the Swiss Foreign Ministry, Switzerland is providing a neutral and secure environment for the discussions. Officials said diplomats from multiple countries are involved in maintaining dialogue between the parties. However, details about participants and the agenda remain undisclosed due to the sensitive nature of the process.
The negotiations are expected to address key issues, including Iran’s nuclear programme, enriched uranium stockpiles, sanctions relief, and related financial and technical matters. Both sides are reportedly working within a 60-day framework established under the agreement to resolve outstanding disputes and lay the groundwork for a long-term arrangement.
Senior US officials, including Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and adviser Jared Kushner, are expected to participate in the talks. US Vice President JD Vance is also expected to travel to Switzerland, although his earlier visit was postponed due to regional tensions in Lebanon. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is also expected to attend, according to diplomatic sources.
The Swiss government said the postponement of earlier sessions was linked to security developments in the region. Despite delays, officials reiterated their commitment to facilitating dialogue and supporting efforts to maintain diplomatic momentum between Washington and Tehran.
