Iran and the United States hold technical-level talks on Sunday in Switzerland, Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs says. Multiple outlets report that the meeting takes place in Burgenstock, Switzerland. Pakistan states that US and Iranian representatives will attend, alongside mediators from Pakistan and Qatar. Several sources describe the talks as follow-up or resumption negotiations that come after an Islamabad memorandum of understanding, which Pakistan’s foreign ministry references in connection with the technical discussions. One report notes that Pakistan’s announcement includes the timing and location of the talks and frames Qatar and Pakistan as mediators. Other coverage situates the negotiations amid wider regional tensions, including references to Israeli attacks in Lebanon and Iran’s announced closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Across reports, the common points are the Sunday start date, the Switzerland location, and the involvement of Pakistan and Qatar as mediators. The sources do not provide detailed agenda items or expected outcomes, focusing instead on the announcement and logistics of the talks.
