Swiss authorities have announced the postponement of a planned\nmeeting between the United States and Iran scheduled for Friday (19\/6)\nlocal time to discuss the implementation of a memorandum of\nunderstanding (MoU) to end the war, which has been signed by both\ncountries.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe planned talks between the US, Iran, Qatar, and Pakistan have\nbeen postponed,\u201d the Swiss Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a\nstatement, as reported by AFP on Friday (19\/6\/2026). \u201cSwitzerland\nremains ready to facilitate these talks. Relevant preparatory work in\nBurgenstock continues,\u201d the statement added, without providing a new\ndate for the US-Iran discussions.<\/p>\n
The announcement came just hours after the cancellation of US Vice\nPresident JD Vance\u2019s departure to Switzerland on Thursday (18\/6) US\ntime. The White House explained that Vance, who was leading the US\ndelegation, postponed the trip because logistical details for the\nexpected technical talks with Iran had not yet been resolved. \u201cAs of\nnow, the Vice President will not be departing tonight,\u201d a White House\nspokesperson said on Thursday local time.<\/p>\n
Vance was expected to travel to Switzerland as part of efforts to\nadvance the discussions on Iran. \u201cAs the Vice President said in his\npress conference, the plans for the upcoming technical talks have not\nbeen finalised, and the US delegation has been ready to depart at the\nfirst available opportunity. But the logistics of these negotiations are\nnever simple or predictable,\u201d the spokesperson stated, adding that the\nUS hopes to begin the technical talks \u201cas soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Iran\u2019s Tasnim News Agency reported that \u201cnothing has been\nconfirmed yet\u201d regarding the Iranian delegation\u2019s travel to Switzerland.\nPreviously, Swiss authorities had confirmed that a signing ceremony for\nthe MoU between the US and Iran would take place on Friday at the\nBurgenstock resort in central Switzerland. The Swiss Federal Department\nof Foreign Affairs (FDFA) had been in close contact over several days\nwith the US and Iran, as well as with Pakistan and Qatar as mediators,\nregarding the signing plan. According to the FDFA, the location for the\nceremony was proposed by the mediators, Pakistan and Qatar, as well as\nby the US and Iran.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/us-iran-meeting-in-switzerland-on-mou-implementation-postponed-1781859331", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
