June 19, Fineko/abc.az. Iran has demanded formal guarantees regarding the cessation of hostilities in Lebanon as a strict prerequisite before resuming direct treaty negotiations with the United States in Switzerland.
According to ABC.AZ, citing intelligence obtained by CNN from a senior diplomat close to the discussions, the planned Bürgenstock bilateral track has been temporarily suspended due to ongoing Israeli strikes in Southern Lebanon. International brokers are currently working to resolve the standoff and establish a firm timeline for the resumption of face-to-face sessions.
Core Parameters of the Diplomatic Framework:
The Islamabad Accord: The 14-point stabilization memorandum, brokered by Pakistan, officially entered into force on June 18 following a digital signing ceremony by US President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
Treaty Directives: The framework mandates an immediate halt to regional military engagements—explicitly incorporating the Lebanese theater—alongside the reopening of the strategic Strait of Hormuz and the complete dissolution of the US naval blockade on Iranian ports.
The 60-Day Technical Window: Once current border frictions are smoothed over, senior legal and energy teams are scheduled to trigger a comprehensive 60-day negotiation phase designed to map out verifiable restrictions on Tehran’s nuclear enrichment capabilities and specify the legal mechanisms for international sanctions relief.
