U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff is on his way to Switzerland, where the first round of talks with Iran on a possible nuclear deal is expected to take place, a senior American official told N12 overnight. The article says the meetings were supposed to start on Friday but were postponed because of the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
It is still unclear whether a new date has been set for the talks, or whether additional senior American officials are also traveling to Switzerland. According to the same official, Donald Trump’s other envoy, Jared Kushner, is already there.
Qatar’s prime minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, who is described as one of the main mediators between Iran and the United States, arrived in Switzerland on Friday at noon. The report does not say when the talks will now begin, only that preparations appear to be underway despite the delay.
