US-Iran meeting in Switzerland put on hold as Vance leads talks
What's new: The delay stalls a planned Switzerland session even as the vice president becomes the public face of the negotiations.
A planned meeting in Switzerland between the United States and Iran has been put on hold, pausing the next visible step in talks between the two countries. NPR reported that Vice President JD Vance has emerged as the public face of the U.S. negotiations with Iran as the diplomatic effort continues. The brief did not give a reason for the delay or say when the Switzerland meeting might be rescheduled. The holdup comes as Washington appears to be elevating Vance’s role in one of its most sensitive foreign policy tracks, with the vice president now more closely identified with the negotiations.
