Summary
Last Wednesday, the U.S. and Iran signed a deal to end the war. Since then, Iran said it was closing the Strait of Hormuz again (though it didn't in practice, per U.S. officials), Israel intermittently bombed Lebanon and President Trump threatened to seize and toll the strait, kill Iran's peace negotiators, and send Syria in to fight Hezbollah. At the same time, the two sides are meeting in Switzerland to hammer out a longer-term nuclear agreement, a sign that both sides remain engaged despite significant differences. High-level talks at the Bürgenstock resort in Switzerland, which concluded early Monday morning local time, are being led for the U.S. by Vice President JD Vance, with envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
