The latest round of United States-Iran peace talks has begun in Switzerland, with negotiators racing to prevent a new crisis from destroying a ceasefire that was only recently agreed upon. Senior officials from both countries gathered for discussions aimed at turning a temporary truce into a more lasting settlement after months of conflict that shook the Middle East and disrupted global energy markets.
United States Vice President JD Vance landed in Switzerland on 21 June for long-awaited negotiations with Iran. Hours later, an Iranian delegation arrived in Switzerland, including Tehran's lead negotiator Gen. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, and foreign minister for Iran, Abbas Araghchi.
