Talks extend through the night
A senior American diplomat confirmed that the talks between the US and Iran at the Bürgenstock resort in Switzerland will go on all night.
“The Iranians remain here and talks continue. We expect to work all night.”
Historic meeting and rapid progress
Vance, speaking at a press conference from the venue, described the gathering as a historic first.
“Never before have Iranian and American leadership met at such a high level.”
“We have already made great progress in just the last few hours.”
Trump’s directive to turn a new page
Vance said President Trump instructed the team to fundamentally remake the relationship.
“President Trump asked us to turn the page and transform our relationship with the people of Iran.”
“If the leadership is willing to stop being a factor of regional instability, if it is willing to give up its long-term aspirations for nuclear weapons, then the United States is ready to fundamentally transform its relationship with this country.”
Core issues and regional backdrop
The talks address the Strait of Hormuz, the nuclear deal, and mechanisms to ensure free passage through the vital waterway. Vance acknowledged that Iran remains a destabilising actor but emphasised a broader goal.
“The question is whether we can permanently change relations in the Middle East.”
