JD Vance Arrives In Switzerland For Technical Talks With Iran To End War

Vice President JD Vance landed in Switzerland early Sunday to help launch a new round of negotiations with Iran, as the Trump administration pushes for a lasting agreement following a recently signed ceasefire.

Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance departed for Switzerland on Saturday (local time) for technical-level talks with Iran, following the signing of the 14-point memorandum of understanding (MoU) reached between the two sides to end the hostilities in West Asia as diplomatic efforts continue over nuclear and regional security issues.

Tehran’s negotiators, including parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf and foreign minister Abbas Araghchi, along with central bank and oil officials, are already in the Swiss city of Zurich.

The hard-won interim peace deal, signed by US President Donald Trump, gives a 60-day window for negotiations.
