<\/a>Trump Threatens Iran With Fresh Strikes as Vance Leads Peace Talks in Switzerland<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nReuters <\/strong>and <\/em><\/span>Algemeiner Staff<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n US Vice President JD Vance meets with Pakistan\u2019s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, during high-level talks aimed at advancing a deal to end the Middle East conflict, at the Buergenstock Resort Lake Lucerne, near Stansstad, Switzerland, June 21, 2026. Photo: REUTERS\/Nathan Howard\/Pool<\/span><\/p>\n US President Donald Trump on Sunday threatened to restart war with\u00a0Iran\u00a0<\/span>even as Vice President JD Vance met\u00a0Iran<\/span>ian officials for the first talks under an interim peace deal, overshadowed by Tehran\u2019s announcement it had again closed the Strait of Hormuz.<\/span><\/p>\n The talks in the Qatari-owned mountaintop resort of Buergenstock in Switzerland were the first to be held under the terms of a memorandum of understanding agreed a week ago.<\/span><\/p>\n It calls for the strait to be reopened and a halt to all hostilities, including in Lebanon, where US ally Israel launched a military offensive in March targeting the Iran-backed Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah. But\u00a0Iran<\/span>, arguing that Washington had failed to meet its commitment to halt fighting in Lebanon, said it had shut the strait again and that Sunday\u2019s talks would not cover substantive issues such as\u00a0Iran<\/span>\u2018s nuclear program.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIran\u00a0<\/span>must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble. If they don\u2019t, we\u2019ll hit\u00a0Iran\u00a0<\/span>very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!!\u201d Trump said, apparently referring to Hezbollah and to an escalation he ordered earlier this month.<\/span><\/p>\n Fox News reported that Trump had gone further in an interview, saying he had told\u00a0Iran<\/span>ian officials if they closed the strait \u201cyou won\u2019t have a country,\u201d and threatening to take over the waterway.<\/span><\/p>\n At the talks in Switzerland, where US and\u00a0Iran<\/span>ian officials met in the presence of Qatari mediators, Vance played down the impact of violence in Lebanon, saying progress had been made toward ending hostilities there.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThese things are always a little bit messy,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n Even as Trump was threatening\u00a0Iran<\/span>, Vance told reporters the US president had \u201casked us to turn over a new leaf to transform our relationship with the people of\u00a0Iran.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The warring sides did not pursue a joint photo opportunity at the talks. Before Vance made his remarks,\u00a0Iran<\/span>\u2018s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi briefly walked into the room and embraced Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, a mediator. Araqchi did not interact with Vance, who was at the back of the room.<\/span><\/p>\n Despite the announcement of a new ceasefire in Lebanon on Friday, there has been scant sign of an end to fighting there.\u00a0Iran\u00a0<\/span>said on Saturday that as a result, it had again shut the strait, whose closure for nearly four months caused a massive disruption of global energy supplies.<\/span><\/p>\n US officials disputed that the strait was closed, but commercially available shipping data showed an immediate impact.<\/span><\/p>\n Only a single small tanker crossed the waterway with its location-signaling transponders on after\u00a0Iran<\/span>\u2018s announcement, compared with dozens of ships in recent days when traffic had begun returning to pre-war levels.<\/span><\/p>\n Iran<\/span>\u2018s Fars news agency cited a military source as saying on Sunday that no new permits were being issued for ships to cross until further notice. Throughout the war, shipping firms have said it is too dangerous to traverse without\u00a0Iran<\/span>\u2018s permission.<\/span><\/p>\n Iran\u00a0<\/span>said there could be no start to the next phase of talks, including over its nuclear program, until Lebanon fighting ends and it gets promised economic benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n As has happened several times with major developments affecting the global economy during the war,\u00a0Iran<\/span>\u2018s announcement that the strait was again shut took place on the weekend with markets closed, delaying any impact on oil prices until Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n Trump said he agreed last week\u2019s memorandum of understanding to avert a global economic depression from high oil prices caused by the strait\u2019s closure. Oil prices had tumbled over the past week to levels unseen since the war started.<\/span><\/p>\n Vance said before his departure that he hoped to make progress on the nuclear issue. But after Sunday\u2019s talks,\u00a0Iran<\/span>ian state media said\u00a0Iran<\/span>\u2018s nuclear program had not been discussed.<\/span><\/p>\n Earlier,\u00a0Iran<\/span>\u2018s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said that, since Washington had failed to guarantee a ceasefire in Lebanon, the meeting would cover only the implementation of the memorandum itself and not the substantive issues foreseen for the next stage.<\/span><\/p>\n The memorandum foresees 60 days of talks on issues such as curbing\u00a0Iran<\/span>\u2018s nuclear program in return for the lifting of international sanctions. Before those issues are resolved,\u00a0Iran\u00a0<\/span>expects to receive initial economic benefits, such as sanctions waivers and the unfreezing of blocked assets.<\/span><\/p>\n Iran<\/span>ian President Masoud Pezeshkian, quoted by Fars, expressed optimism that the US talks could provide a strong basis for economic growth. The first goal of the negotiations was restoring access to some of\u00a0Iran<\/span>\u2018s frozen assets, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n Sunday appeared to be the quietest day in Lebanon for some time, with no reports of major violence by nightfall, after two days of heavy Israeli strikes and fire from Hezbollah fighters on Israeli positions.<\/span><\/p>\n More than a million people have been driven from their homes in Lebanon since March by Israel\u2019s invasion, in pursuit of Hezbollah fighters who fired across the border in March in support of Tehran.<\/span><\/p>\n Iran\u2019s government and Hezbollah both openly seek Israel\u2019s destruction,<\/span><\/p>\n In a potentially positive sign on Sunday, Reuters journalists in southern Lebanon saw some of the heaviest traffic since the memorandum was signed, with residents returning to homes they had fled in the south. Some stood beside cars backed up on the highway and waved Hezbollah flags.<\/span><\/p>\n Lebanese authorities say 20 people were killed in Israeli strikes on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n The army said on Sunday that specialized units were still working to dismantle unexploded Israeli bombs weighing 1,000 and 2,000 pounds that had been dropped on southern towns.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> Trump Threatens Iran With Fresh Strikes as Vance Leads Peace Talks in Switzerland Reuters and Algemeiner Staff US Vice President JD Vance meets with Pakistan\u2019s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, during high-level talks aimed at advancing a deal to end the Middle East conflict, at the Buergenstock Resort Lake Lucerne, near Stansstad, Switzerland, June 21, 2026.
