What’s on the table in Switzerland
The upcoming discussions represent the first significant direct engagement between Washington and Tehran since April 2026. Previous rounds of talks took place at the Bürgenstock resort near Lake Lucerne.
Key US figures in the negotiations have included Vice President JD Vance, along with envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. On the Iranian side, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and parliament speaker Mohammad Ghalibaf have led the delegation.
The core agenda has centered on nuclear disarmament, regional hostilities, and maritime security. The Strait of Hormuz, through which a massive share of global oil shipments pass, has been a particular focal point.
