Iranian state television says that delegations from Iran, Qatar and the United States are holding a meeting in Switzerland to discuss a ceasefire in Lebanon and Iran’s frozen assets.
“A tripartite meeting involving Iran, the United States and Qatar on the subjects of a comprehensive ceasefire in Lebanon and Iran’s blocked assets is currently being held at the negotiation venue,” state broadcaster IRIB says in a report.
Israel had no part in negotiating the memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran and has resisted efforts for a ceasefire in Lebanon to be made part of the deal.
