U.S. Vice President Vance, at talks in Switzerland, said negotiations with Iran
have made "significant" progress in recent hours and more gains are expected
within hours. He said both sides now see "a shared future"; President Trump has
urged a "new page" in relations with the Iranian people and has authorized
pursuit of diplomatic solutions on a range of issues, though Vance questioned
whether this can permanently reshape the Middle East balance. Saudi media
reported Vance announced the Strait of Hormuz has been opened and that further
steps are expected. Vance said substantial progress has been made toward a
Lebanese ceasefire in recent days, while warning such pauses are often "messy";
Trump remains committed to a comprehensive regional ceasefire.
