BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 21. The meeting
scheduled to take place today in Switzerland between Iran and the
United States marks the beginning of negotiations aimed at reaching
a final agreement between the two sides, the official spokesperson
of Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Esmaeil Baqaei said.
“Today in Switzerland, negotiations between Iran and the United
States are planned to be held in two rounds. This meeting is
considered the start of discussions aimed at reaching a final
agreement,” he said.
According to him, each mediator will contribute to the
implementation of the memorandum of understanding.
Baqaei stated that the Iranian side is openly reporting cases of
violations of the memorandum. The first clause of the Iran–U.S.
memorandum contains a very clear and important message. The
cessation of the conflict in Lebanon is of great importance. He
added that the intensity of the confrontation there has decreased
since yesterday.
On June 18, a memorandum of understanding was signed between
Iran and the United States. The document was signed by Iranian
President Masoud Pezeshkian and U.S. President Donald Trump, and it
entered into force on June 19.
