With the conclusion of the "first session of high-level dialogues" between Iran and the United States, senior Iranian officials left the negotiation venue. Technical talks are scheduled to continue throughout the week in Switzerland. The Iranian Foreign Minister reported on these talks: "Sanctions on Iran’s oil and petrochemical exports have been suspended and the naval blockade has ended." He also noted that some of Iran’s blocked assets have been released. Qatar and Pakistan, the two main mediators, referenced the achievements of these talks in a statement, writing that Iran and the US have agreed to establish a "communication line" to prevent incidents and misunderstandings in the Strait of Hormuz.
