Negotiations with Iran will continue overnight, US official says
A senior US official involved in the negotiations said that discussions between American and Iranian representatives in Switzerland remain ongoing and are expected to continue throughout the night, Al Jazeera Arabic reported.
The official said the US delegation had been engaged in continuous meetings since the morning and rejected reports suggesting the Iranian delegation had left, stating that negotiations were still actively underway.
The official said discussions covered Iranian messaging regarding the Strait of Hormuz, with mechanisms established to prevent escalation and help ensure the strategic waterway remains open.
Negotiators also discussed implementation of a ceasefire in southern Lebanon and held what the official described as in-depth talks on all aspects of a potential nuclear agreement.
The official added that the parties would continue working on these issues and use the progress achieved so far as the basis for future technical discussions.
