Peace negotiations between the United States and Iran were temporarily suspended on Sunday after the first round of talks in Bürgenstock, Switzerland, with Iranian officials saying the country’s nuclear programme was not part of the discussions.
Iranian state media reported that the opening session lasted about 80 minutes and focused mainly on implementing a memorandum of understanding previously reached between Washington and Tehran, as well as the worsening security situation in Lebanon.
Iran’s state broadcaster said: “No negotiations regarding Iran’s nuclear programme took place during the first round,” adding that the talks concentrated on practical steps to carry out the agreement rather than Tehran’s nuclear activities.
The negotiations, mediated by Pakistan and Qatar, are aimed at reaching a wider peace agreement after months of tensions between the two countries.
The discussions are expected to continue over a 60-day period as both sides work on the details of a broader settlement.
The US delegation is led by Vice President JD Vance, alongside senior officials including Jared Kushner and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff. Iran’s delegation includes Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
The talks come amid rising regional tensions, especially in Lebanon, where clashes involving Hezbollah have raised concerns about the future of the diplomatic efforts.
US President Donald Trump has warned Iran against allowing regional allies to increase hostilities, saying renewed conflict could threaten the peace process.
Despite the temporary pause, mediators say both sides are expected to return to negotiations as efforts continue toward a comprehensive agreement.
