Recent US-Iran talks in Switzerland have concluded with an agreement on a 60-day roadmap to finalize a comprehensive deal under the ‘Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding’. A High-Level Committee has been established for political oversight, with technical talks set to continue. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif praised the breakthrough, giving special tribute to the “untiring efforts” of Chief of Defence Forces Field Marshal Asim Munir.

The agreement includes significant concessions for Iran, such as waivers for oil and petrochemical exports and the release of some frozen assets. It also establishes a mechanism to end the conflict in Lebanon and creates a communication line to ensure safe passage for commercial ships. Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar and Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi were also commended for their contributions to the successful negotiations.

Global oil prices declined on Monday following the conclusion of US-Iran talks in Switzerland, with Brent crude falling to $78.89 a barrel. The drop was driven by Iran’s announcement that it had secured waivers for oil and petrochemical exports, which could see an estimated 1.5 million barrels per day of Iranian crude return to international markets.

As part of the agreement, which extends a tenuous 60-day ceasefire, Iran also secured the release of some frozen assets and the launch of a reconstruction plan. A joint statement from Qatar and Pakistan confirmed progress was made on a roadmap to a final deal, though analysts caution that risks of a flare-up in hostilities remain.
