U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance arrived in Switzerland on Sunday morning for renewed negotiation meetings with Iran, a spokesperson confirmed. The talks, which were initially scheduled for Friday but postponed at short notice, are expected to span a couple of days.

Vance expressed hope for progress on the nuclear issue and a ceasefire in Lebanon before departing for Europe. However, the situation remains tense following recent Israeli military actions in southern Lebanon. The Israeli military stated these strikes were in response to Hezbollah launching projectiles.

These developments led Iran to announce its intention to close the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. delegation's arrival in Switzerland marks a critical juncture for diplomatic efforts aimed at de-escalating regional tensions and addressing Iran's nuclear program.
