US envoy Steve Witkoff was headed to Switzerland for talks, according to corroborated reports from Gulf and other news outlets. Axios reported that Witkoff was on his way to Switzerland on Friday, citing an unnamed US official. CNN stated that the trip was part of efforts to get technical talks following an initial peace deal back on track, and that Jared Kushner was expected to be in Switzerland for the talks, citing a US official. Axios confirmed that Kushner was already in Switzerland. The White House announced late Thursday that Vice President JD Vance had postponed his planned trip to Switzerland.

Separately, the United States announced a high-level Iran meeting in Doha with envoys Witkoff and Kushner attending, according to almonitor. President Donald Trump said on social media that Iran had requested a meeting and that it would take place in the Qatari capital, as reported by almonitor. Accounts differ on whether the primary location for the scheduled talks was Switzerland or Doha; both locations are referenced in reporting, but no source indicates the events occurred simultaneously or sequentially.

Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani discussed the US-Iran agreement and regional security with Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis following the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Washington and Tehran, according to iranintl.com. Israel and Hezbollah agreed to a ceasefire in Lebanon on Friday, according to bluesky. Trump characterized the Lebanon ceasefire as beneficial, as reported by iranintl.com.
