Top negotiators from the United States, Iran and Pakistan began talks in Switzerland on Sunday to try to secure a fragile ceasefire and reach a deal on the future of Tehran’s nuclear programme.The US team is led by Vice-President J.D. Vance, who reportedly said during the meeting that the gathering was “historic” and the goal was to “turn over a new leaf to transform our relationship with the people of Iran and to extend an outstretched hand”.He also said that US President Donald Trump was committed to seeing a “full regional ceasefire”, adding that the ⁠technical negotiations “may ⁠not solve ‌every disagreement” but they would allow both sides ⁠to ⁠“sit together ⁠as ⁠teams for ‌the first ‌time ‌in history”.He joined special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, in Burgenstock, the resort hosting the talks, Associated Press reported.Before setting off from the US, Vance told reporters at the Andrews airbase in Maryland that he expected “a couple of days of talks”.“I think we’re going to hopefully make progress on the nuclear issue, make progress on the Lebanon ceasefire issue,” he said.
