US, Iran agree roadmap for final deal as mediators hail ‘progress’ in talks
The first round of US-Iran talks in Switzerland ended with mediators Qatar and Pakistan announcing a roadmap toward a final deal within 60 days. Technical talks will continue at Burgenstock. Parties agreed to a mechanism to end fighting in Lebanon and opened a communications line for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said Iran secured waivers for oil exports, release of frozen assets, and a reconstruction plan. Trump threatened to resume attacks. Vance downplayed violence in Lebanon. Iran's Tasnim news agency reported that the Iranian delegation refused to return to the room after Trump's threats, but messages were still exchanged via mediators.
