The New York Times, citing two Iranian officials, reports Iran’s chief
negotiator and parliament speaker Ghalibaf and foreign minister Araghchi will
travel to Geneva to sign an agreement. U.S. Vice President Vance is reported to
sign on behalf of Washington; the meeting would be the highest-level Iran–U.S.
contact in 47 years. Iranian officials say the agreement will affirm mutual
respect for sovereignty and a pledge not to interfere in each other’s internal
affairs. Diplomatic relations were severed after the 1979 revolution and the
U.S. embassy seizure.
