00:01Checkpoints and increased police patrols were deployed in villages surrounding Switzerland's
00:06Burgenstock Resort on Sunday, as U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance arrived for high-level
00:12peace talks with Iran.
00:14The security measures were put in place ahead of the negotiations as both countries seek
00:19a durable end to their ongoing conflict, despite differences over Iran's claim that it had
00:24closed the Strategic Strait of Hormuz.
00:27The talks come after a 60-day ceasefire agreement was reached to facilitate negotiations.
00:33However, tensions remain high after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps declared
00:39the Strait of Hormuz closed in response to Israeli strikes in Lebanon, although the U.S. military
00:45said commercial vessels kept operating.
00:47The developments could complicate the discussions, which are aimed at advancing an interim agreement
00:53brokered by Pakistan and signed on Wednesday by U.S. President Donald Trump and Iranian President
00:58Massoud Pazeshkian to end nearly four months of war.
