US-Iran talks to finalize in Switzerland, new negotiations says FM Araghchi – The Jerusalem Post

Iran and the US will start a new round of negotiations on Friday in Switzerland to reach a final agreement after the official start of an interim agreement, Iran’s foreign minister said on Tuesday.
Araqchi also warned that any Israeli attack on Lebanon or continued presence on Lebanese territory from now on constituted a violation of the interim agreement with the United States.
“In our view, the two parties to this memorandum are the US and Israel on one side, and Iran and Hezbollah on the other,” he said.
Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Takht-Ravanchi says nuclear issues will be discussed in the next phase of talks, including enrichment, stockpiling, and Iran’s nuclear needs, according to Iran’s Student News Network.
However, CIA Director John Ratcliffe recently warned senior American officials that US intelligence agencies had gathered evidence that raises doubts about Iran’s willingness to make concessions regarding its nuclear program, according to an Axios report citing three sources familiar with the matter
Two other issues that Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used to justify the war – ending Iran's support for regional armed proxies and curbing its missile program – are not thought to be on the agenda for these negotiations.
The deal is the most significant step yet to resolve the conflict, which has killed at least 7,000 people, mostly in Iran and Lebanon, and upended global energy markets.
