US envoy Witkoff headed to Switzerland for Iran talks — reports

US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is heading to Switzerland where the first round of talks with Iran on a potential nuclear deal is expected to take place, a US official told Axios. US official said Trump's envoy Jared Kushner is already in Switzerland for the negotiations, which were supposed to start Friday but were postponed because of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Both Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi were headed to Switzerland for talks, as a ceasefire in Lebanon appeared to revive efforts to turn the interim Iran war pact into a lasting regional deal. The development follows a 14-point memorandum the US and Iran signed this week to halt fighting and open a 60-day window to resolve disputes over Iran's nuclear programme and other thorny issues needed for a durable deal. With the ceasefire in […]

US-Iran Deal Leaves Key Issues Unresolved

The newly announced memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran has officially taken effect, marking a significant diplomatic step after months of conflict. However, while the agreement restores shipping access through the Strait of Hormuz, many of the most difficult issues remain unresolved and will be the focus of intensive negotiations over the next 60 days. Speaking at the G7 summit in France, US President Donald Trump described the deal as a major achievement and presented it as a breakthrough that could pave the way for a broader peace agreement between Washington and Tehran. Both governments later confirmed that the memorandum had been signed electronically and was now active. Despite the optimism surrounding the announcement, details released by US officials suggest that substantial differences remain between the two sides. One of the central goals of the Trump administration […]

US and Iran Sign Initial Peace Agreement

The United States and Iran have signed a preliminary peace agreement designed to bring an end to the ongoing conflict, with key provisions taking effect immediately. The deal includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a proposed $300 billion reconstruction framework for Iran, and a commitment by Washington to begin lifting all categories of sanctions imposed on Tehran. However, negotiations over Iran’s nuclear programme — a central issue behind the conflict — will continue for an initial 60-day period, with the option of extending talks if both sides agree. US President Donald Trump signed the memorandum during the G7 summit in France, describing the agreement as a necessary step to prevent severe global economic disruption. While expressing optimism about the process, Trump warned that military action could resume if the two sides fail to reach a final settlement. Iranian […]

Israel says it won’t withdraw troops from Lebanon, Syria, Gaza

Israel's Defense Minister Israel Katz has declared that Israeli troops will remain indefinitely in "security zones" in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon and Syria, marking a major policy shift in the country's military approach to border security. Katz emphasized that unlike previous instances, the Israeli military is not retreating from areas that have been cleared and taken, stating that troops will remain in the security zones acting as a buffer between adversaries and Israeli communities "regardless of whether the situation in Gaza is temporary or permanent" – similar to the approach in Lebanon and Syria. The defense minister's announcement comes after Israel unilaterally expanded its frontiers in the war unleashed by Hamas' October 7, 2023 attack, and the military strengthens its control over various occupied regions. Israel says it must maintain control of what it refers to as security zones to […]

Iran says draft US deal includes oil sanctions waiver, nuclear limits and asset release

Iran has revealed that a proposed memorandum of understanding with the United States includes a waiver of oil sanctions, limits on Iran's nuclear programme, and the release of billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets. A senior Iranian source told Reuters on Friday that the draft deal would waive sanctions on Iran's oil exports, unfreeze billions of dollars of its funds, and impose restrictions on Iran's nuclear programme. The agreement also includes a commitment from Iran to never develop nuclear weapons. According to the source, the United States would lift its blockade on Iranian ports and issue targeted sanctions waivers to facilitate unrestricted Iranian oil sales during the negotiation period. The US proposal includes a temporary waiver of oil sanctions effective until a final agreement is reached, rather than Iran's demand for permanent lifting of all sanctions. The draft MOU […]

Trump Says Peace Deal With Iran in Final Stages

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that negotiations with Iran were "in the final stages," while warning of further attacks unless Tehran agrees to a peace deal.

Israel-Iran Strikes Test Fragile Middle East Diplomacy

The latest exchange of strikes between Israel and Iran has raised fresh concerns about instability in the Middle East, highlighting the fragile state of regional ceasefires and the challenges facing ongoing diplomatic efforts. The confrontation began after Iran launched missiles at Israel, describing the attack as retaliation for Israeli operations in Beirut.

The episode has renewed questions about Washington's ability to influence Israeli decision-making during a period of heightened regional tensions. Following the missile exchange, Trump said he had contacted Netanyahu and encouraged restraint. However, Israeli military operations proceeded shortly […]

Iran and Israel Pause Attacks Amid Diplomatic Push

Iran and Israel have announced a halt in their latest military exchanges, easing fears of a broader regional escalation after both sides launched attacks against each other for the first time since a ceasefire agreement reached in April.

Trump: Israel and Iran Must Immediately Stop Shooting

US President Donald Trump on Monday urged Iran and Israel to cease hostilities, as both countries engaged in tit-for-tat attacks that seriously threatened talks for a deal to end the Middle East war. Trump posted on his TruthSocial account: "Israel and Iran must immediately stop shooting," hours after the two nations attacked each other for the first time since a ceasefire two months ago. The appeal came as Israel and Iran launched fresh attacks against each other, marking the most serious escalation since the ceasefire that took effect on April 8. Days earlier, Trump had reportedly told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from further attacks, but Israel struck a petrochemical plant in Iran's southwest along with military targets elsewhere.
