Vance cancels Switzerland trip for Iran talks; deal signed
8 reported3 unconfirmed
President Donald Trump signed a 14-point agreement to end the Iran war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, according to a single-source report from NBC News. Vice President JD Vance will not travel to Switzerland on Thursday night for planned technical talks, a White House spokesperson said, citing unresolved logistics. The deal, which Trump signed at the Palace of Versailles, does not address Iran’s ballistic missile program, and Trump said it was signed to prevent “economic catastrophe.” Iran has framed the agreement as a victory, while critics and independent experts say the terms heavily favor Tehran. The White House has not formally published the text, which was distributed to news media by a senior U.S. official. The agreement includes a 60-day negotiation window for a final U.S.-Iran deal, with details on sanctions relief, a $300 billion redevelopment fund for Iran, and a halt to fighting in Lebanon.
