White House envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are in Switzerland, where the first round of talks with Iran on a potential nuclear deal is expected to take place on Sunday, U.S. officials told Axios.
Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi traveled to Switzerland on Saturday to join the talks.
Why it matters: The talks were supposed to start on Friday but were postponed because of the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. It's not yet clear if a new time has been set for the talks.
The Iranian delegation left Tehran shortly after the Iranian armed forces announced they are closing the Strait of Hormuz in response to alleged violations of the ceasefire by the U.S. and Israel.
Driving the news: U.S. officials hoped a renewed ceasefire in Lebanon, announced on Friday, would allow the talks to move forward.
But on Saturday morning, the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah resumed. Hezbollah launched around 50 projectiles toward Israel soldiers that it claimed were advancing near a town in southern Lebanon, Israel called that a ceasefire violation and conducted dozens of strikes in southern Lebanon in response, killing at least 16 people.

Are already reaching critical stages. So another week or so delay risks our oil supply lines getting really disrupted. Maybe if gas and diesel stop showing up at gas stations folks will begin to understand the cost of stupidity.
