Technical negotiations between Iran and the United States kicked off in Switzerland today, marking a fresh step in diplomatic efforts between the two nations. The meeting is being held in Geneva, with experts and technical-level officials from both sides in attendance.
According to sources, the main focus of the talks is on the nuclear program and arms control measures, as well as other bilateral cooperation matters. This is the first face-to-face technical-level meeting since the U.S. withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) in 2018.
Iran stressed that the discussions are purely technical and do not cover broader political issues. Meanwhile, the United States expressed hope that the talks could pave the way for concrete steps to resolve existing disagreements.
Analysts view the event as a reflection of both sides' efforts to seek a diplomatic solution after years of escalating tensions. Switzerland, acting as a mediator, has facilitated these closed-door negotiations.
No details have been released on when the meeting will conclude, but observers suggest the talks could last several days, depending on progress and outcomes.
