Iran’s chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has departed for Tehran following an 18-hour session of peace talks with US counterparts in Switzerland.
The departure marks the conclusion of the first round of direct negotiations and sets the stage for the next phase of diplomatic engagement between the two nations.
According to media reports, technical negotiations aimed at implementing a previously reached understanding are scheduled to commence on Monday.
This transition from high-level political dialogue to technical implementation suggests that both sides are moving toward concrete operational steps, rather than remaining stuck in preliminary positioning.
The development follows a marathon session in Switzerland, where state media confirmed the Iranian delegation's exit.
The shift to technical talks is a critical juncture; while high-level agreements often face hurdles in execution, the initiation of technical work implies a degree of mutual commitment to the framework established in earlier rounds.
