First day of US-Iran negotiations in Switzerland concludes amicably after rocky start
Earlier, Tasnim reported that the Iranian delegation declined to participate in a group photo with the US delegation and that Iranian Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf refused to join a press conference.
The first session of peace talks between the US and Iran in Switzerland has concluded, mediators Qatar and Pakistan announced in a joint statement early on Monday morning.
The talks were conducted in a positive and constructive atmosphere, the countries said, despite the fact that the Iranian team walked out of negotiations Sunday night in protest of threats by US President Donald Trump to restart Iran strikes unless the Strait of Hormuz is reopened, as reported by Iran's Tasnim News Agency.
Additionally, both Iran and the US have agreed to establish a high-level committee for political oversight during future talks, said the joint statement.
