JAKARTA - The United States (US) Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is heading to Switzerland, where the first round of US-Iranian talks on a potential nuclear deal are expected to be held, according to a report by Axios, citing unnamed US officials.
US President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is already in Switzerland, the official said.
The report said it was not clear if a new schedule for negotiations had been set.
The talks were previously expected to begin on Friday (19/6), but were postponed due to fighting between Israel and the Lebanese Shiite movement, Hezbollah, in Lebanon.
The report also said the US delegation was expected to be led by US Vice President JD Vance, but he postponed his trip on Thursday (18/6), and it is not clear whether he will go there this weekend.
On June 14, Iran and the US confirmed that the drafting of a memorandum of understanding had been completed.
On the night before June 18, the two countries signed the document remotely which guarantees the end of the military conflict which began on February 28.
The memorandum will give the two countries 60 days to negotiate a final agreement on Iran's nuclear issue and US sanctions.
In addition, the memorandum also sets a deadline for the US to lift its naval blockade, and for Iran to restore navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
