Iranian media reported on Sunday that the first round of US-Iran talks in Switzerland has concluded, while other sources indicated that discussions are still ongoing, reflecting uncertainty over the status of negotiations.<\/p>\n
The talks, held in the Swiss resort town of B\u00fcrgenstock, mark a renewed attempt at direct engagement between Washington and Tehran amid heightened regional tensions.<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s Fars News Agency cited a source within the Iranian negotiating team as saying that \u201cthe first round of quadrilateral talks in Switzerland has ended,\u201d according to statements carried by the Iraqi News Agency (INA).<\/p>\n
Direct US-Iran discussions had begun earlier in the day in B\u00fcrgenstock, with mediation efforts involving regional actors.<\/p>\n
Pakistan\u2019s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif described the moment as \u201ca great day for global peace,\u201d adding that \u201cintensive efforts led to the meeting between Washington and Tehran, and we may return with a document for peace.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, US outlet Axios, citing a diplomatic source, reported that the Iranian delegation has not left Switzerland and that talks are still ongoing.<\/p>\n
Iranian state television also reported that \u201cno negotiations on the nuclear file took place during the first round,\u201d suggesting that initial discussions may have focused on preliminary or technical issues rather than core nuclear matters.<\/p>\n
The differing accounts highlight ambiguity surrounding the structure and progress of the negotiations.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump issued strong warnings regarding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n
Speaking to reporters, Trump said that if Iran closes the Strait, \u201ctheir country will be destroyed,\u201d adding that the United States could become \u201cthe guardian of the Strait of Hormuz\u201d and potentially take \u201c20 percent of the oil.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also warned that \u201cif we do not reach an agreement with Iran, we will impose transit fees in the Strait of Hormuz,\u201d and stated that \u201cIranian negotiators will not be able to return home if the Strait is closed.\u201d<\/p>\n
In response, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf dismissed the US statements, saying that Iran \u201cdoes not pay attention to American threats.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added that \u201cif these threats were effective, the United States would not be in its current state of weakness,\u201d and warned that Iranian forces are prepared to respond.<\/p>\n
Ghalibaf said: \u201cNo matter how much the Americans talk, we are the ones who act on the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n
The negotiations come as part of broader efforts to address tensions between Iran and the United States, including issues related to:<\/p>\n
– A potential nuclear agreement<\/p>\n
– Implementation of previous understandings<\/p>\n
– Security in the Strait of Hormuz<\/p>\n
– Regional developments, particularly in Lebanon<\/p>\n
The absence of nuclear discussions in the first round may indicate a phased approach to negotiations.<\/p>\n
– Iranian media reports first round of talks has ended<\/p>\n
– Other sources say negotiations are still ongoing<\/p>\n
– No nuclear discussions reportedly held in first round<\/p>\n
– Trump issues warnings regarding Strait of Hormuz<\/p>\n
– Iran dismisses US threats and signals readiness to respond<\/p>\n
The first round of US-Iran talks in Switzerland reflects both diplomatic engagement and continued tensions between the two sides. Conflicting reports about the status of the discussions, along with sharp political statements, underscore the fragile and complex nature of the negotiations.<\/p>\n
The coming rounds are expected to clarify whether meaningful progress can be achieved or if the process will remain stalled amid competing pressures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
