Doha: US Vice President J.D. Vance announced today that negotiations between Washington and Tehran have made significant progress in the past few hours. This development comes as both countries engage in discussions mediated by Pakistan and Qatar at the Burgenstock resort in Switzerland.
According to Qatar News Agency, Vance made these remarks before a meeting involving his country's delegation and representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran. He expressed optimism that this round of talks would continue to achieve further progress in the coming hours. The Vice President emphasized the impact of strained relations between Iran and other regional countries on broader instability, highlighting the potential for collaborative efforts to promote peace and prosperity.
Vance also described the meeting as historic and unprecedented outside of Islamabad, noting the absence of recent high-level meetings between Iranian and American leaderships. He mentioned that President Donald Trump had instructed the delegation to initiate a new chapter aimed at transforming and expanding the relationship with the Iranian people.
