Iranian delegation arrives in Switzerland for talks with US — government

On 21 June 2026, an Iranian delegation arrived in Switzerland for talks with the United States, with US Vice President JD Vance also arriving. The talks were held at the Bürgenstock resort and were described as make-or-break. Pakistan's prime minister also arrived, and Iran said a quadrilateral meeting with the US, Qatar and Pakistan was to be held.

The agenda included implementing the memorandum of understanding, the Lebanon situation, Iranian oil sales and the Strait of Hormuz, which remained closed according to The Guardian. The US disputed Iranian claims about closing the strait. Trump threatened Tehran over proxy support and said the US would charge tolls in Hormuz if no deal is reached in 60 days. Iran's Araqchi met his Swiss counterpart before the US talks.
