Uncertainty over Iran talks as Swiss meeting scrapped

The scrapping of plans for US and Iranian negotiators to meet in Switzerland today created new uncertainty about the timing of talks that will seek to turn a memorandum to end the war into a ⁠more permanent peace deal.
The memorandum of understanding signed this week by the Iranian and US presidents left discussion of Iran's nuclear programme and other tough issues until later, giving the sides 60 days to reach a lasting agreement or extend the interim deal.

Preparations for technical talks to start in the Swiss mountaintop resort of Burgenstock were far advanced when US Vice President JD Vance said yesterday he had dropped plans to attend, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters.

Earlier yesterday, a source familiar with Tehran's thinking said Iran's lead negotiator Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf was not planning to attend.
