Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi declared that technical negotiations with the United States have achieved "major progress" toward ending the conflict in Lebanon.
The statement follows the conclusion of the first session of talks held under the framework of a 14-point Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in Switzerland.
The diplomatic development marks a significant shift in the broader West Asia conflict, which has kept global energy markets on edge.
Araghchi’s comments suggest that the parties are moving from preliminary positioning to concrete implementation steps, reducing the immediate threat of further escalation in the region.
This progress aligns with a preliminary agreement reached earlier between Washington and Tehran on a roadmap to end their conflict within 60 days.
Those intensive negotiations, mediated by Qatar and Pakistan at the Bürgenstock resort in Switzerland, laid the groundwork for the current technical discussions.
