Iran's foreign minister announced progress following the first day of talks between US and Iranian officials in Switzerland. Abbas Araghchi stated that mediation from Pakistan and Qatar has facilitated significant advancements towards resolving the conflict in Lebanon. The US and Iran have reportedly agreed on a roadmap for a final deal within 60 days, with technical discussions continuing throughout the week. Additionally, the US Treasury is preparing to issue a 60-day waiver to lift sanctions on oil and petrochemicals. This development follows a recent statement from US President Donald Trump, who threatened Iran regarding its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israeli strikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon. The ongoing conflict has also led to a rare moment of solidarity within Iran, as reported by Saeed Shah. In a separate political development, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his resignation after facing internal party pressure and declining poll numbers.
