U.S. Vice President JD Vance departed Washington on Saturday for Switzerland, where negotiations with Iran are set to commence on Sunday.

Vance's arrival will bolster the U.S. delegation, which already includes Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The Iranian delegation is also traveling to Switzerland for the critical discussions.

Los Estados Unidos de Amรฉrica y la Repรบblica Islรกmica de Irรกn se comprometen a respetar la soberanรญa y la integridad territorial de la otra parte y a abstenerse de interferir en los asuntos internos de esta.

โ€” U.S. officialThe draft agreement text, as read by a U.S. official, includes mutual commitments to respect sovereignty and non-interference in internal affairs.

The core of the potential agreement, as outlined by a U.S. official, includes an immediate and permanent cessation of hostilities on all fronts, including Lebanon. Both nations and their allies would commit to not initiating further conflict and to respecting each other's territorial integrity and sovereignty.

Key provisions also detail the lifting of U.S. naval blockades against Iran within 30 days of a final agreement, alongside the withdrawal of U.S. forces. Iran, in turn, would facilitate safe passage for commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz for 60 days.

Inmediatamente despuรฉs de la firma de este ME, los Estados Unidos de Amรฉrica comenzarรกn a levantar su bloqueo naval y cualquier perturbaciรณn u obstรกculo contra la Repรบblica Islรกmica de Irรกn, y pondrรกn fin por completo al bloqueo naval en un plazo de 30 dรญas.
