Mediators said the sides created a contact channel for the Strait of Hormuz and a de-confliction cell for Lebanon as technical talks continue.
- On Monday, the United States and Iran agreed on a 60-day roadmap toward a final deal following high-level talks in Switzerland, facilitated by mediators from Pakistan and Qatar.
- Negotiations followed a preliminary deal signed last week, focusing on reopening the vital Strait of Hormuz and establishing a ceasefire in Lebanon after Iran previously closed the strait in response to joint U.S. and Israeli attacks.
- Mediators hailed "encouraging progress" as parties established a "communication line" for the Strait of Hormuz and a "de-confliction cell" to prevent fighting in Lebanon, with technical talks continuing in Buergenstock through the week.
- President Donald Trump warned Iran to "immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble," while chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf retorted that Iran acts independently. The Iranian delegation departed Switzerland on Monday.
- The 60-day roadmap addresses Iran's nuclear program, which Tehran denies intending to use for military purposes. Vice President JD Vance stated the U.S. and Qatar would maintain approval over how released Iranian assets are utilized.
