BEIJING/TEHRAN, June 21– Senior U.S. and Iranian delegations are gathering for talks in Switzerland on Sunday for what could prove to be a decisive phase in transforming the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding (MoU) into a broader political settlement.
Analysts say the talks may serve as an early test of whether both sides are willing to move beyond a ceasefire framework toward more substantive political and security arrangements.
WHO WILL ATTEND
Delegations from Iran and the United States were initially scheduled to meet in Switzerland on Friday, but the meeting was canceled and rescheduled for Sunday.
Despite the postponement, delegations from both countries have arrived in Buergenstock, Switzerland for initial negotiations on implementing the MoU signed earlier this week to end their nearly four-month war.
Iran’s negotiating team, headed by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, arrived in Switzerland Saturday night for talks with the U.S. delegation, state-run IRIB news agency said Sunday.
