Talks between the US and Iran are planned for Sunday at the Bürgenstock Resort in Switzerland, according to CBS. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and the Iranian Speaker of the Parliament Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf are set to attend, with Special Envoys to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner representing the American side.Vance, who is leading talks for the US, canceled his planned departure for Switzerland on Thursday night after the talks, originally planned for Friday, were postponed.“I’m looking forward to starting technical talks with the Iranians, the Pakistanis, and the Qataris. Our understanding is that the Iranians just landed,” Vance told reporters while departing from Joint Base Andrews.“We’ll have a couple of days of talks, try to get this thing kicked off in the right way. There’s a lot to discuss, but we’re gonna go through it all.”Asked about ongoing fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, Vance said, “despite the headlines, things are actually getting better there,” and “it’s going to be something we just have to continuously manage to ensure that Israel and Lebanon are both safe and secure.”He said he’ll “only be there for a day or two” and that he hopes to “make progress on the nuclear issue” and the Lebanon ceasefire issue.WATCH:!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2vbt6g"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");Rumble("play", {"video":"v79eft2","div":"rumble_v79eft2"});This comes after Iran claimed that it was closing the Strait of Hormuz in response to the fighting in Lebanon. US officials denied that the Strait was closed on Saturday.Vance responded to the Iranians’ claim, telling Fox earlier, “We got 16 million barrels out of the Strait of Hormuz in the last 24 hours. That is basically to where it was before the war even started, and so that suggests that the straits really are open.”“We’re not seeing any evidence that the Iranians are still closing down the Strait of Hormuz,” he added.WATCH:!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2vbt6g"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");Rumble("play", {"video":"v79eags","div":"rumble_v79eags"});Trump also responded, saying that there are no tolls or impediments in the Strait, but suggesting that the US may charge tolls for use of the waterway in the future.“There will be NO TOLLS after the 60 day period has expired, unless they are imposed by and for the United States of America, should the deal not be completed, for services rendered as the Guardian Angel to the countries of the Middle East for purposes of both past, present, and future reimbursement of costs,” he said in a statement.JUST IN: Trump Says Strait of Hormuz is Open With No Tolls After Iran Claims Closure, Suggests US Will Charge Tolls “For Services Rendered as the Guardian Angel to the Middle East”/*!
