The call, confirmed today by the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA), comes at a sensitive time for international relations.

Contacted by Keystone-SDA, the FDFA declined to provide information about the content of the conversation. According to information shared on the social media platform X by the media outlet Iran Nuances, the heads of the respective diplomatic services discussed the regional situation.

The phone call followed a few days after the foreign ministry announced the partial reopening of the Swiss embassy in Tehran.

The diplomatic office was temporarily closed on March 11 due to the precarious security situation, Bern had explained.

Those were the times of the American and Israeli raids. As will be recalled, Switzerland represents US interests in Iran.
