US and Iran postpone then resume nuclear talks in Switzerland under 60-day MOU framework.
The US and Iran signed a 14-point memorandum of understanding on June 17, opening a 60-day window for negotiations on Iran's nuclear program and regional issues. Technical talks scheduled for June 19 in Switzerland were postponed after Vice President JD Vance delayed his trip; negotiations resumed on June 21 with Vance and Iranian officials arriving in Switzerland. The talks proceed amid ongoing violence between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
