Swiss Foreign Ministry spokesperson Melanie Gögelmann stated on the 7th (local time), "Switzerland is ready to host negotiations for the resolution of the dispute between the United States and Iran." Previously, Geneva had been mentioned as the venue for follow-up negotiations after the two countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Gögelmann added, "Switzerland is ready to offer its good offices at any time and is willing to support all diplomatic initiatives aimed at promoting peace," and "maintains contact with all parties involved in the conflict."
