US and Iran Convene for Technical De-escalation Talks in Bürgenstock
Expert-level delegations from the United States and Iran met at the Bürgenstock resort in Switzerland on June 28, 2026, to discuss the implementation of the June 17 Memorandum of Understanding. The primary focus of the technical negotiations is the establishment of a direct military deconfliction channel in Doha, Qatar. Despite the ongoing kinetic exchanges in the Persian Gulf, both parties are attempting to maintain the 60-day ceasefire extension brokered by Pakistan and Switzerland to avoid all-out war.
