White House special representative Steve Witkoff went to Switzerland. It is expected that the first round of negotiations on a possible nuclear agreement between the US and Iran will be held here.
Modern.az reports that an American official told Axios about this.
According to the American official, US President Donald Trump's son-in-law and former adviser Jared Kushner is already in Switzerland.
The talks were scheduled to begin on Friday, but were postponed due to military operations between Israel and the Hezbollah movement in Lebanon. It is not yet known whether a new time for the talks has been set.
According to an informed source, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi also plans to visit Switzerland on Saturday.
The source noted that the situation can still change.
According to a source from one of the mediating countries, Araqchi told several of his colleagues on Friday that achieving a ceasefire in Lebanon is critically important for Iran and is the main factor determining whether US-Iran talks will take place.
A source from another mediating country said that the Iranians emphasized that they wanted a ceasefire to be ensured before going to Switzerland.
Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, considered one of the main mediators between the US and Iran, arrived in Switzerland earlier on Friday.
The US delegation was expected to be led by Vice President J.D. Vance. However, he postponed his visit at the last minute on Thursday evening. It is not yet known whether he will go to Switzerland this weekend.
