The threat was issued during a weekend of high-stakes diplomatic talks in Switzerland aimed at ending a war, amidst Iran's restriction of maritime traffic. Trump reportedly told Iranian officials that closing the strait would result in them "not having a country" and the US taking over the rest of it. The initial round of talks faced a "difficult" start, with Iranian negotiators temporarily withdrawing due to Trump's "insults". Despite the public bluster, Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi later reported "major progress" in the talks, crediting Pakistan and Qatar's mediation.
