US-Iran Talks Hit Snags Over Hormuz and Lebanon

US-Iran peace talks kicked off in Switzerland with surprising momentum, as Iran’s deputy foreign minister stayed for technical sessions, aiming to finalize a deal within 60 days—centered on ending Lebanon’s war and unfreezing Iranian assets. But tensions flared before the talks even began: Trump reportedly threatened Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, causing Iran’s delegation to pause—though US officials insist they never left the room. With Iran warning the strait isn’t America’s “personal casino,” experts predict ongoing friction. The US envisions a “classic Trump deal”: Iran gets frozen funds in exchange for buying American corn and wheat—a move VP Harris hailed as a milestone. Yet Lebanon remains a major roadblock: Iran wants peace, Israel insists on its security zone, threatening to derail the whole process.
