US Vice President J D Vance kickstarted direct talks with Iranian negotiators in Switzerland and hinted at progress to end the Middle East conflict. President Donald Trump posted a threatening message aimed at Iran, sparking concerns that the talks could get derailed at the slightest provocation as the Iranian side was already wary of the US upholding peace commitments.
"Iran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble. If they don't, we'll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP," Trump's post on Truth Social said.
