What happened

Well supportedReported by 32 independent outlets

U.S. and Iranian negotiators traveled to a Swiss venue for talks concerning an interim agreement aimed at halting the war in the region. These discussions focus on Iran's nuclear program, with the potential for billions of dollars of Iranian assets to be unfrozen. Concurrently, the Strait of Hormuz has been closed due to Israel’s attacks in Southern Lebanon. President Donald Trump has warned that he could impose tolls in the crucial waterway if a final deal with Iran is not reached within 60 days.
