U.S. envoy Witkoff heads to Switzerland for expected first Iran talks
A senior American official told N12 overnight that White House envoy Steve Witkoff is on his way to Switzerland, where the first round of talks with Iran on a possible nuclear agreement is expected to take place. The article was published on June 20, 2026, at 01:58.
The talks were supposed to begin 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 or whether additional senior American officials are also traveling to Switzerland.
The official said Trump’s other envoy, Jared Kushner, is already in Switzerland. Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, one of the main mediators between Iran and the United States, arrived in Switzerland on Friday afternoon.
