\r\n\tUS Vice President JD Vance landed in the Swiss city of Lucerne on Sunday morning (June 21, 2026) to participate in direct talks with representatives of the Iranian regime<\/strong><\/p>

His arrival took place at the resort of B\u00c3\u00bcrgenstock, the chosen location for the discussions.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nVance joins Steve Witkoff, US Special Envoy to the Middle East, and Jared Kushner, senior White House advisor, who had already arrived on Saturday.<\/p>

\r\nThe Iranian delegation includes the Speaker of Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and officials from the banking and oil sectors.<\/p>

\r\nAn official schedule of the meetings has not yet been released.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nBefore traveling, Vance stated that he would stay in Switzerland for only one or two days.<\/p>

\r\nHe declared he expected progress on two main issues: the Iranian nuclear program and the ceasefire in Lebanon.<\/p>

\r\n“I am sure that the Iranians will also have issues they wish to discuss,” he added.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThe negotiations, initially scheduled for Friday, were postponed due to renewed clashes between Israel and Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group, in southern Lebanon.<\/p>

\r\nThe previous day, four Israeli soldiers were killed by a Hezbollah drone, prompting Israel to respond with attacks on more than 80 terrorist targets.<\/p>

\r\nThe fragile ceasefire was reinstated on Friday, mediated by the United States.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nOn Friday, the US and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding that provides for the immediate and permanent end of military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon.<\/p>

\r\nHowever, on Saturday, Iran announced the temporary closure of the Strait of Hormuz-an important oil transport route-in retaliation for Israeli actions.<\/p>

\r\nVance, in an interview, expressed skepticism about an effective closure and stated that the demining of the region could take up to 30 days, as stipulated in the agreement.\r\n<\/p>

\r\nThese talks represent an effort to consolidate a final agreement that ends the conflict with Iran and establishes clear limits on its nuclear program.
