US envoy Steve Witkoff is on his way to Switzerland for the first round of US-Iran nuclear talks, according to an Axios report citing a US official on Saturday.<\/p>\n
According to Axios, US President Donald Trump\u2019s son-in-law and envoy, Jared Kushner, is already in Switzerland ahead of the negotiations, which are part of a 60-day period of discussions aimed at reaching a nuclear deal between Washington and Tehran.<\/p>\n
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is reportedly planning to join the US delegation on Sunday, a source with knowledge of the matter told Axios. The source noted that Araghchi\u2019s plan could still change.<\/p>\n
Another source told Axios that Iran wants to see a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah take hold before Araghchi goes to Switzerland.<\/p>\n
Qatari Prime Minister Mohammad Bin Abdul Rahman al-Thani arrived in Switzerland on Friday and is set to mediate the US-Iran talks, Axios added.<\/p>\n
The talks were originally supposed to begin on Friday but were confirmed by Switzerland\u2019s Foreign Ministry to have been postponed.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, the White House announced that US Vice President JD Vance, who was supposed to participate in the negotiations, would be cancelling his trip due to logistical issues.<\/p>\n
