US-Iran War Peace Talks News Live Updates: US Vice President JD Vance arrived in Switzerland on Sunday for peace talks with Iran as both nations seek a durable end to their war while disagreeing over Iran’s claims that it had closed the vital Strait of Hormuz. Although the US and Iran had agreed to a 60-day ceasefire while negotiations take place, Tehran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on Saturday declared the Strait of Hormuz shut, though the US military said commercial vessels had continued operating in the waterway.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said the Strait of Hormuz has been closed following Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon that killed at least 32 people since early Sunday. This comes as Washington and Tehran prepare for talks in Switzerland, raising questions about the impact on global shipping and the chances of a diplomatic breakthrough.
