President Trump threatened renewed military strikes against Iran on Sunday just as Vice President JD Vance arrived in Switzerland for high-stakes peace negotiations.
Trump demanded that Tehran immediately restrain Hezbollah in Lebanon, warning that he would hit the country "very hard again" if proxies continue attacking Israel. The threat follows reports of Iran reimposing a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, a vital chokepoint for 20% of the world's oil supply. While the President uses aggressive rhetoric, Vance is meeting with Iranian and regional officials in Lucerne to finalize a memorandum of understanding to end the conflict.
Negotiators are now racing to salvage the deal as Trump suggests the U.S. could eventually "take over" Iran if the maritime blockade remains.
