As Vance meets top Iranian officials in Switzerland, Trump threatens Tehran from afar

U.S. Vice President JD Vance met with top Iranian officials in Switzerland to discuss an interim deal to end the war in Iran and address nuclear program concerns. President Donald Trump simultaneously threatened renewed U.S. strikes on Iran over Hezbollah support or closure of the Strait of Hormuz, complicating negotiations. Iranian officials criticized Trump's rhetoric, and the talks entered a 'difficult phase' amid heightened tensions.
