Iranian sources said on the 22nd that negotiations between Iran and the United
States in Switzerland began on the 21st at about 15:00 local time and ran
roughly 1.5 hours before being recessed for 30 minutes for internal
consultations. Iran's delegation refused to resume after Trump made threatening
remarks. Qatar and Pakistan continue mediating and intermediaries are still
relaying messages; mediation is ongoing but no final agreement has been reached.
Iran lodged a formal protest over U.S. breaches of commitments, citing a
specific violation of Article 1 of the memorandum of understanding (MoU).
