The first phase of in-person ceasefire talks between the United States and Iran has concluded in Pakistan’s capital, Al Jazeera reported.

The discussions mark the first direct face-to-face negotiations between Washington and Tehran since the 1979 Islamic revolution, the sources said.

Following the initial round, both sides are now exchanging written texts aimed at confirming mutual understanding of the agreements reached during the talks. No further details on the content of the proposed agreements were immediately available.
