Vance arrives in Switzerland for Iran peace talks with Hormuz in spotlight

The talks will test a 60-day interim deal as negotiators work on nuclear limits and Strait of Hormuz access, officials said.

  • On Sunday, Vice President JD Vance arrived in Switzerland to join special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner for peace talks with Iran, aiming to finalize technical details of the framework agreement signed last week.
  • Negotiators began a 60-day technical sprint following the framework agreement signed last week, which allows Iran to sell oil freely and access frozen assets while requiring dilution of highly enriched uranium stockpiles.
  • Fighting between Israel and Hezbollah killed 47 people in Lebanon, while Iran's military announced it closed the Strait of Hormuz; Central Command disputed the closure, stating U.S. forces continue to monitor traffic.
  • President Donald Trump threatened on Saturday to levy U.S. tolls on the strait if no deal is reached within 60 days, insisting the money would cover services rendered as the "Guardian Angel" to Middle East countries.
  • Republican hard-liners criticized the deal, unfavorably likening it to an Obama-era agreement, while Vance's role in negotiations has heightened scrutiny of the vice president as he considers a 2028 presidential campaign.
