Vance: Talks With Iranian Officials Set 'Good Foundation' For Deal To End War

OBBUERGEN, Switzerland (AP) — Vice President JD Vance says his lengthy talks with senior Iranian officials in Switzerland created a good foundation for a final deal to end the Iran war. Vance made the comment Monday after initial talks with Iran’s parliamentary speaker. Vance and U.S. officials claimed progress on multiple fronts, including the establishment of measures to ensure the Strait of Hormuz stays open and that a ceasefire holds in the fighting between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon. Iran noted “major progress” to end the fighting in Lebanon and called that the first real test of the negotiations.
