"For more than 150 years, Switzerland has served as a trusted go-between for countries without diplomatic ties, often acting as a 'protecting power' and mediating between hostile governments."
"Switzerland has likewise served as the United States' protecting power in Iran, facilitating talks and serving as a diplomatic backchannel between the United States and Iran."
"Our decades spent navigating complex international relations have equipped Switzerland with the necessary skills to mediate effectively and foster dialogue between conflicting nations."
The failure of recent peace talks and U.S. actions against Iran suggest a potential escalation of conflict. However, resolution will likely come through backchannel diplomacy. Switzerland has a long history of mediating between nations without diplomatic ties, acting as a trusted intermediary. This role has included representing U.S. interests in Iran since 1980, facilitating negotiations, and hosting discussions like the 2015 nuclear agreement. Switzerland's experience positions it as a key player in achieving peace between the U.S. and Iran.
