US push to get Iran talks started hits an early bump. Vance stays at home, for now

The U.S. attempt to initiate talks with Iran on nuclear negotiations and oil traffic in the Strait of Hormuz faced delays as Iranian officials refused to travel to Switzerland, citing Israeli strikes on Hezbollah in Lebanon. U.S. Vice President JD Vance canceled his planned trip to Switzerland for the talks, while a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah was renewed, though it remains unclear if it will revive the stalled negotiations.
