Vance and Iranian officials set to launch talks in Switzerland
Vance and Iranian officials are racing to finalize technical terms as talks seek to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and stabilize the ceasefire.
- On Sunday, June 21, 2026, U.S. Vice President JD Vance arrived at the Buergenstock Resort in Switzerland to launch high-level negotiations with an Iranian delegation, aiming to implement a 60-day peace framework addressing nuclear limits and regional ceasefire terms.
- Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Qatari mediators joined the quadrilateral summit to facilitate the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, which seeks to halt regional hostilities and address Iran's nuclear program following a framework signed last week.
- Iran announced closure of the Strait of Hormuz, citing Israeli strikes in Lebanon; U.S. Central Command disputed the claim, reporting 55 merchant ships transited the waterway Saturday with more than 17 million barrels of oil bound for global markets.
- Threatening to restart strikes, President Donald Trump warned Iran to curb Hezbollah's activities, adding the U.S. would impose tolls on the Strait of Hormuz if the 60-day peace deal fails to materialize.
- Negotiators face a critical 60-day sprint to finalize technical details that could unlock $300 billion in reconstruction funds, though regional violence and conflicting rhetoric threaten the fragile diplomatic breakthrough.
