Iran and US begin two-month peace talks
Negotiations in Switzerland aim to address nuclear issues as tensions continue after regional strikes and ceasefire efforts
TEHRAN, Iran (MNTV) – Iran and the United States are set to begin a new phase of negotiations in Switzerland aimed at reaching a final agreement after months of regional tensions and military escalation.
The talks, scheduled to start after a signing ceremony at the Burgenstock resort, will continue through a 60-day period and focus on Iran’s nuclear program, sanctions relief and broader security arrangements.
Iranian officials said the discussions represent an opportunity to secure a diplomatic solution while warning that previous agreements with Western countries were damaged by broken commitments and unilateral withdrawals.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the upcoming negotiations would address key disputes, including nuclear matters and the removal of economic restrictions imposed on Tehran.
The developments follow an announcement that the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global energy supplies, would reopen after tensions threatened international oil markets.
The reopening of the strategic waterway contributed to falling oil prices and eased concerns over further disruption to global energy supplies.
However, diplomatic efforts remain under pressure as Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon continue. Lebanese authorities reported casualties after Israeli strikes, while Iranian officials warned of a response to what they described as continued regional aggression.
The negotiations come after indirect talks facilitated by regional partners helped create momentum toward a temporary understanding, though major disagreements remain over uranium enrichment and sanctions.
Washington and its allies have demanded limits on Iran’s nuclear activities, while Tehran has maintained that it has the right to pursue peaceful nuclear technology under international agreements.
Iranian officials stressed that any final deal must include guarantees against future violations and protect the country’s national interests.
Regional observers said continued Israeli actions and wider tensions could threaten the diplomatic process, with the future of the talks depending on whether all sides maintain commitments.
