Switzerland Announces Bürgenstock as Venue for US-Iran Accord Signing

Tehran - BORNA - The Swiss Foreign Ministry confirmed on Tuesday that the landmark US-Iran accord is scheduled for signing on Friday in Bürgenstock, located in central Switzerland.

On Monday, an informed source revealed that representatives from both Iran and the United States will hold preliminary meetings in Doha, Qatar, prior to the formal signing of the memorandum of understanding achieved between the two sides in Switzerland.

A diplomat familiar with the developments stated that the Qatari mediators, who had traveled to Iran to facilitate the agreement, departed Tehran yesterday following 17 hours of intensive, nonstop negotiations that ultimately culminated in the declared deal. The diplomat noted that separate preliminary meetings with each party are scheduled to take place this week in the Qatari capital of Doha before the official signing ceremony in Switzerland and the subsequent commencement of technical negotiations.

While the comprehensive details of the agreement have not been publicly disclosed yet, Pakistan, acting as the primary mediator between Tehran and Washington, confirmed that the signing will take place this Friday in Switzerland, with key issues such as Iran's nuclear program expected to be thoroughly addressed later during the technical phase.

Following weeks of intensive mediation by his government between the involved parties, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif hailed the United States-Iran agreement as a historic step toward peace.
