Israeli Attacks On Lebanon Nearly ‘Derailed’ US-Iran Talks in Switzerland: Pakistan Foreign Minister

Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar tells Al Arabiya in an exclusive interview that Israeli attacks on Lebanon nearly derailed efforts to bring the United States and Iran back to the negotiating table. Dar said technical talks held in Switzerland marked the second phase of a recently announced US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Three working groups discussed Iran’s nuclear program, sanctions and frozen assets, and the situation in Lebanon. He also said no transit or service fees would be imposed on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz during the current 60-day period. #Iran #USIranDeal #Trump #Tehran #WashingtonDC #Pakistan #IshaqDar #MiddleEast #Diplomacy #ForeignPolicy #IranNuclearDeal #NuclearTalks #Sanctions #Lebanon #Israel #StraitOfHormuz #Hormuz #Shipping #GlobalTrade #RegionalSecurity #PeaceTalks #Switzerland #AlArabiyaEnglish #AlArabiyaNews #BreakingNews #WorldNews
