Consultations ongoing regarding next round of talks, says Iran

Consultations are ongoing through mediators regarding the next phase of U.S.-Iran talks aimed at drafting a final deal to end the war, according to Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei.

He said Friday that the public would be informed if and when the necessary conditions for launching negotiations are met.

Since the two countries’ memorandum of understanding has now been signed both digitally and by President Trump in person, the meeting in Switzerland is no longer considered urgent, he said, adding that planning is underway for a direct meeting to be held in the coming days.
