The Heat: Iran-US Negotiations | 'Encouraging progress'

Mediators say the latest round of high-stakes talks between the United States and Iran ended with what they describe as “encouraging progress.” The discussions in Switzerland took place amid heightened tensions, with President Trump warning Iran could face new military strikes and possible US tolls if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed. The talks are part of a 14-point memorandum of understanding the first step aimed at ending the war and addressing longstanding disputes over Iran’s nuclear program. #Heat #US #Iran #war #Trump #JDVance #Israel #Netanyahu #Lebanon Asieh Namdar speaks with: Ali Ahmadi is Executive-in-Residence at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy.
