A US diplomat at the Swiss venue told reporters the Iranian delegation was involved in “robust discussions on all elements of the nuclear deal”, and gave clarifications on Iran’s messaging “on the Strait of Hormuz and building deconfliction mechanisms to ensure the Strait will remain fully open”, reports AFP.

CNN reported from the official’s conversation with the media that US Vice President JD Vance and the US delegation had been “engaged in constant meetings and negotiations”. CNN also quoted him as saying that the discussion also included “enforcing the ceasefire in southern Lebanon”.

“The official said there have been robust discussions on ‘all elements of the nuclear deal’ as they work toward building a starting point for technical talks,” CNN reported.
