US and Iran to Initiate Peace Talks Following Closure of Strait of Hormuz

21 Haziran 2026France 24

US-Iran peace talks are set to begin in Switzerland following Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned vessels to stay away from the strait, citing security risks.
This closure comes in response to Israeli strikes in Lebanon, which Iran claims violate a ceasefire agreement with the US and Israel. Delegations from both countries will meet to negotiate an interim agreement aimed at ending the ongoing conflict.
The Strait of Hormuz is a critical shipping lane for global oil supplies, and Iran's control over this passage gives it substantial influence over international trade and security. The recent Israeli strikes in Lebanon have heightened tensions, prompting Iran to assert its position more aggressively.
The closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran is a significant escalation in regional tensions, particularly as it coincides with the start of peace negotiations. This move not only threatens maritime security but also underscores Iran's strategic leverage in the ongoing conflict.
