The United States and Iran have concluded the first round of direct negotiations in Bürgenstock, Switzerland, agreeing on a roadmap to advance their diplomatic engagement.
The talks, which lasted through the night, focused on nuclear energy issues and built upon a mutual understanding reached earlier in June.
Pakistan served as a mediator during the discussions.
Iran’s foreign minister characterized the outcome as a step forward, signaling a constructive tone after months of tense relations.
The agreement represents a foundational move toward a more formalized peace process, though details of the roadmap remain undisclosed.
Market participants are likely to view the development as a positive signal for de-escalation in the Middle East.
