Vance’s bid to launch Iran nuclear talks in Switzerland stalls after Iran delays delegation

U.S. Vice President JD Vance had been set to travel to Switzerland to begin technical negotiations with Iran on its nuclear program, but the talks were put on hold after Iran delayed sending its delegation. The pause followed Israel’s ongoing military campaign in Lebanon, which Iran cited as the reason for the delay, according to Al-Mayadeen. The disruption adds to near-term uncertainty around oil supply after Washington and Tehran signed an agreement giving a 60-day window to reach a permanent nuclear arrangement and restore oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz to prewar levels.
