Vance and Iranian officials set to launch talks in Switzerland
The talks are entering a 60-day sprint as negotiators seek technical details on Iran’s nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz, officials said.
- On Sunday, June 21, 2026, United States Vice President JD Vance convened "historic" talks with Iranian officials in Switzerland, with mediators from Pakistan and Qatar facilitating the quadrilateral meeting at the Burgenstock resort.
- The 14-point Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, signed June 17, provides the framework for these talks, targeting a ceasefire, reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and a 60-day timeline for further negotiations.
- President Donald Trump threatened in an online post that the US would strike Iran if proxies in Lebanon did not stop causing "trouble," while Vance emphasized Washington's goal to "turn over a new leaf."
- Qatari foreign ministry spokesperson Dr Majed bin Mohammed Al-Ansari announced that technical and specialized groups have been formed to negotiate final agreement clauses and oversee implementation tracking.
- Led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir, the Pakistani delegation continues to facilitate the process, with discussions potentially extending into tomorrow.
