00:01Iranian negotiators arrive in Switzerland.
00:03U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance is headed there, too.
00:08The U.S. and Iran will hold talks to advance an interim deal signed on Wednesday to end
00:13a nearly four-month war.
00:15I think we're going to hopefully make progress on the nuclear issue, make progress on the
00:20Lebanon ceasefire issue, those are the two big things that I think we're going to be
00:24focused on.
00:25I'm sure the Iranians are going to have this as much as we discussed as well.
00:28But there are some complications.
00:31Lebanon says Israeli airstrikes killed 20 people there on Saturday, this a scene in the country's
00:37south.
00:39Here is my in-laws' house, my residence, my brother-in-law, my wife's two brothers, my
00:44mother-in-law and her son.
00:46There are also two babies.
00:47One was just one month old and the other is two months old.
00:50Nine martyrs and not a single one of them has been found yet.
00:53Iran argues Israel's aggression violated the interim deal, which included a ceasefire in
00:59Lebanon.
01:00In response, Iran says it closed the Strait of Hormuz.
01:05But the U.S. military and U.S. President Donald Trump have denied that, saying the critical
01:10waterway remains open.
01:12Trump writing on social media that there will be, quote, no tolls in the Strait for 60 days
01:18during the ceasefire period agreed to under the interim deal.
01:22Still, all of this raises questions about the future of the deal between Iran and the
01:27U.S. and whether it really can pave the way to lasting peace.
