Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman, Esmaeil Baghaei, confirmed on Saturday that an Iranian delegation, including Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and other senior officials, was heading to Switzerland. Iran's state broadcaster reported late on Saturday night that the country's negotiating team had arrived in the Swiss city of Zurich. Aljazeera reported.
In Washington, JD Vance's press secretary said the US vice president had also departed for Switzerland on Saturday. In comments cited by the Reuters news agency, Vance said he would only be able to stay in the country for a day or two, but expressed hope that progress could be made on both the Lebanon ceasefire and the issue of Iran's nuclear programme.
