Iran says it skipped technical talks with the United States on Sunday after the two sides exchanged military strikes, but a U.S. official countered that negotiations to end the war are ongoing.
The negotiations between the two nations were set to take place near Switzerland’s Lake Lucerne and were aimed at finalizing a deal within 60 days as part of the memorandum of understanding, an agreement to end the war that was signed less than two weeks ago.
“Nothing has been cancelled,” a U.S. official said in a statement to NOTUS. “Technical talks regarding the implementation of MoU are on track for the coming days as planned, and deconfliction channels are up and running after the Lake Lucerne Summit.”
