U.S. and Iran open Buergenstock talks under Pakistani and Qatari mediation

Delegations arrived at the Buergenstock resort above Lake Lucerne on Sunday morning for the first high-level round under the Islamabad Memorandum, with Pakistan and Qatar mediating and Switzerland acting as facilitator. Dawn reported Vice President JD Vance landed at 5:59 a.m. local time.

Why this matters. This was the negotiating track the memorandum created, and its failure two weeks later is what returned the region to open conflict.
