US and Iran Set 60-Day Deadline for Nuclear Deal in Switzerland

Negotiators from the US and Iran agreed on a roadmap toward a final agreement within 60 days following high-level talks in Switzerland on June 22, 2026. Qatar and Pakistan, serving as joint mediators, cited "encouraging progress" in a joint statement. The deadline—putting a potential deal in late August—provides both sides domestic political cover: the Trump administration can claim tangible structure; Tehran can argue it extracted a defined timeline rather than open-ended demands.
