Iran's delegation returned from Switzerland having agreed a mechanism to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and maintain the Lebanon ceasefire, as mediators described 18 hours of talks as producing "significant progress".
US Vice President JD Vance said Sunday had been "a very, very good day" before leaving the Alpine country that hosted the talks.
“First, we wanted to build a mechanism for keeping the Strait of Hormuz open — it is open,” Vance told reporters at Bürgenstock on Monday.
“We laid a very good foundation for a successful final deal, the final deal is the house,” he said.
"We haven’t built the house — but we’ve laid a successful foundation to get to a good place for the American people,” Vance concluded.
