US-Iran peace talks in Switzerland strained by renewed threats
High-level negotiations between US Vice President J.D. Vance and Iranian negotiators entered a critical second day on June 22, 2026, at the Bürgenstock resort in Switzerland. The talks aimed at finalizing a permanent end to the war following Operation Epic Fury. However, the atmosphere soured after President Trump threatened to strike Iran if it does not rein in Hezbollah. Iran’s delegation briefly walked out on June 21 after the rhetoric escalated, though mediators from Qatar and Pakistan kept the channel open.
