The Pakistani Foreign Ministry announced on Saturday afternoon that technical talks between Washington and Tehran will be held on Sunday at the Bürgenstock resort in Switzerland.
The ministry indicated that the talks would be sponsored by Pakistan and Qatar as mediating countries.
For its part, the Iranian Foreign Ministry announced on Saturday that an Iranian delegation had left for Switzerland to follow up on the implementation of the United States’ “commitments” under the memorandum of understanding.
This comes as the Iranian navy issued a warning to ships to stay away from the Strait of Hormuz, saying that in light of the Israeli attacks on Lebanon and the United States’ violation of its ceasefire commitments, the Strait of Hormuz has been declared closed to all ships.
She added in a statement: “The strait is completely closed, and ships should not approach it, otherwise their safety will be compromised.”
On Saturday afternoon, the Central Command of the Khatam al-Anbiya military in Iran announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to the passage of ships and maritime navigation, in response to what it described as the United States’ failure to implement the first clause of the memorandum of understanding regarding ending the war, and the continued violation of the ceasefire by Israel in southern Lebanon.
