Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi flagged “major progress” in peace talks with the U.S. held in Switzerland, while Pakistani and Qatari mediators said negotiations were set to continue.
“Tireless Pakistan and Qatari mediation has delivered major progress to end the Lebanon war,” Araghchi said in a social media statement. He noted that oil and petrochemical exports had been waived, a U.S. naval blockade against Iran had been lifted, and that a major reconstruction and development plan for Iran had also been launched.
Separately, Pakistan and Qatar said in a joint statement that the first round of high-level U.S.-Iran talks in Switzerland had concluded, and that “encouraging progress” was made.
