U.S. and Iranian negotiators plan to meet in Switzerland after nearly four months of war, as both sides seek a comprehensive peace agreement. Coverage from Reuters via multiple outlets notes that while a breakthrough remains possible, many analysts are skeptical that the two countries can reach a final settlement within a 60-day timeframe set out in a memorandum of understanding approved this week by U.S. President Donald Trump and Iranian leaders.
The reporting highlights that negotiations face multiple potential obstacles, including the difficulty of translating broad political commitments into detailed, enforceable terms. Analysts also point to the compressed schedule, which could limit how quickly contentious issues are resolved and how verification and implementation questions are handled. In addition, the high stakes of the talks—set against the backdrop of ongoing conflict—raise the risk that developments on the ground could complicate or delay agreement-making.
Overall, the sources converge on the view that timing and the range of practical and political hurdles make a swift final deal uncertain.
