US and Iran agree on 60-day roadmap to final deal

Описание: The first round of talks between high-ranking US and Iranian officials in Switzerland ended on Monday, mediators said, after a tense opening marked by Iran's announcement it had again closed the Strait of Hormuz and US President Donald Trump repeating his threats to resume attacks on Iran.

The parties agreed to a mechanism to end the fighting in Lebanon and opened a communications line to help ensure safe passages for commercial ships through the contested strait, according to a statement released by the Qatari foreign ministry.

US vice president JD Vance had told reporters Trump had "asked us to turn over a new leaf to transform our relationship with the people of Iran".

In a post on social media, Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araqchi said his country had secured waivers for oil and petrochemical exports, the release of some frozen assets and the launch of a reconstruction and development plan for Iran.
