US-Iran Switzerland Talks End First Round With 'Encouraging Progress,' 60-Day Roadmap
Google News Top—The first round of direct US-Iran negotiations in Switzerland concluded with both sides declaring 'encouraging progress' and agreeing on a roadmap to reach a final deal within 60 days. Iran agreed to readmit IAEA nuclear inspectors and both sides established a dedicated communication channel for Hormuz shipping, while a separate roadmap targets ending the war within that 60-day window. Lebanon tensions nearly derailed the talks when Iran's delegation walked out after Trump's profane threat, but talks resumed and mediators Switzerland, Pakistan and Qatar confirmed 'constructive progress.' Unresolved Lebanon questions remain the most significant complication ahead.
