Here are the stories we’re covering today:
– US-Iran talks on a permanent ceasefire were set to kick off Sunday with top officials including US Vice President JD Vance converging in Switzerland, even after Iran issued a renewed order to close the Strait of Hormuz. The two adversaries are engaging after separate clashes in southern Lebanon between Israeli forces and Iran-backed Hezbollah fighters delayed the start of talks. They’re a few days into a 60-day window for negotiations after reaching a memorandum of understanding that President Donald Trump signed on Wednesday during a visit to Paris, though the deal allows for an extension.
– President Donald Trump said the prospect of global economic collapse was a big reason he signed an interim peace deal with Iran. That admission exposes a key US weakness heading into the next round of talks with Tehran.
– Iran said it has closed the Strait of Hormuz for shipping transit due to what it called Israel’s violation of a ceasefire, even as Pakistan said US-Iran talks were set to open in Switzerland on Sunday.
