Plans are up in the air over Friday’s planned first round of US-Iran nuclear talks after Washington and Tehran called off a formal signing ceremony.
A source familiar with the Iranian delegation’s plans said they will determine in the coming hours whether the Tehran team will be in Switzerland for the talks.
Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif — whose nation leads mediations — on Thursday canceled his trip to Switzerland, where the talks are set to take place. It remains unclear whether another Pakistani official — such as Field Marshal Asim Munir, who has played the largest role in the mediations — will take his place.
A time has not yet been confirmed, and many other details — including the roster of individuals involved — remain elusive, The Post has learned from officials in multiple countries involved.
The hubbub comes after President Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Thursday signed the US-Iran memorandum of understanding to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and kick off nuclear negotiations over a 60-day period, scrapping the Friday ceremony.
For now, US, Iranian, Pakistani and Qatari leaders are still scrambling to pull off the event, with no plans to cancel the talks as a whole.
