BlockBeats News, June 22 — U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris announced on Monday that significant progress has been made in the Switzerland-Bürgenstock talks with Iran, with Iran agreeing to allow International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors to re-enter the country. Harris characterized this concession as "a major milestone for the American people," calling it "the first step toward Iran's permanent denuclearization."

The negotiation process was not smooth sailing. Harris admitted that there were "threats" and "complaints" during the talks, but emphasized that negotiations continued to advance and achieved tangible results. Last weekend, Iran announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement by launching attacks on Lebanon, which temporarily heightened tensions in the talks. However, dialogue was maintained with mediation from Pakistan and Qatar.

Iranian Foreign Minister Amir Abdollahian also sent positive signals via social media, stating that the negotiations had made "significant progress," and disclosed specific achievements including sanctions exemptions for oil and petrochemical exports, the lifting of blockades, the release of some frozen assets, and the initiation of Iran's reconstruction and development plans.

Regarding regional stability, Harris said all parties have established mechanisms to prevent escalation, and the U.S. hopes to promote a comprehensive ceasefire in the region, including Hezbollah halting attacks on Israel. She emphasized that the "conflict elimination mechanism" is currently "being developed very effectively."

Iran's delegation to the negotiations was led by Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani. The main negotiating team has returned to Tehran with Speaker of Parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, and technical consultations are expected to continue in the coming days.
