WASHINGTON: US Vice President JD Vance said Saturday he expects to travel to Switzerland for talks with Iran in the coming days, adding that US negotiators reported “things are going well” – minutes before Iran announced another closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
“I expect that I will leave some time the next couple of days, but you know it’s always a delicate coordination dance,” Vance told Fox News, two days after unexpectedly postponing a planned trip to discuss next steps on the US-Iran agreement to end the war.
The vice president said US negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were already in Switzerland, handling “some of the technical elements” of the talks, and had reported that “things are going well.”
