What happened

Well supportedReported by 13 independent outlets

Vice President JD Vance is involved in discussions regarding an interim deal aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear program and ending the conflict in Iran. The framework for these talks was signed in Switzerland, though the process remains in a 60-day sprint to reach technical agreement. Meanwhile, the U.S. has maintained a naval blockade on Iranian ports, requiring at least 103 ships to be redirected to enforce compliance with the operation. The U.S. Treasury Department also announced an economic operation targeting Iranian financial institutions.
