American and Iranian delegations began mediated talks at the Burgenstock resort Sunday, according to Al-Mayadeen. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said the session focuses on implementing a ceasefire on all fronts, especially Lebanon, and warned the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed unless Israel withdraws from Lebanon and oil sanctions are lifted. A U.S. official told CBS the agenda added an emergency session on the Israel-Hezbollah conflict.
Sunday's opening session of U.S.-Iran talks at the Burgenstock resort in Switzerland has been quickly overshadowed by a new Iranian demand: the Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until Israel withdraws from Lebanon and oil sanctions are lifted, according to Iran's Tasnim news agency and IRGC-affiliated Fars News. The one-day meeting, which began around midday — following the arrival of VP Vance earlier Sunday and the convening of delegations by 01:44 Jerusalem — was already focused on implementing a 'ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon', per Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei. By late afternoon, Iran's president confirmed Tehran will not accept zero enrichment, while a reported emergency session on the Israel-Hezbollah conflict was added to the agenda, CBS reported.
