Trump threatens Iran with new strikes as Vance attends Switzerland talks

Vice President JD Vance arrived in Switzerland for technical-level talks concerning Iran's nuclear program and a ceasefire deal, aimed at permanently ending hostilities and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. These negotiations were postponed due to an escalation in fighting between Israel and Hezbollah. Vance, accompanied by Jared Kushner, met with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Asim Munir, with Pakistan serving as mediator. Sharif also met with Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. The talks are part of a 60-day timeline initiated by President Trump's deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's military announced it would close the Strait of Hormuz in response to ongoing Israeli strikes in Lebanon. Vance stated that progress was being made on the technical aspects of the negotiations.
