Washington: On one hand, there was a meeting in Switzerland between the leaders of Iran and America regarding peace, while on the other hand, US President Donald Trump has given a big statement regarding Iran. He threatened to attack Iran again in a post on his own social media platform Truth Social. US President Donald Trump said in a post on Truth Social, “Iran must immediately stop its deeply funded proxies from wreaking havoc in Lebanon. If they do not do so, we will strike Iran again with great force, just as we did last week, but even more forcefully.”
Trump’s threat to Iran
In another statement, giving a direct warning about the possible blockage of sea lanes, Trump indicated that if essential shipping lanes were blocked, Washington would retaliate very strongly. Trump told Fox News, “If you shut it down, your country won’t survive. You won’t even be able to get back to your country.”
The US President also indicated that Washington could take direct operational control to secure the global shipping corridor and could even impose transit fees on oil shipments passing through that route. He said, “If necessary, we can capture that strait. I will completely destroy them.” “If they don’t make any agreement, we will charge toll,” he said.
Iran threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz
Let us tell you that earlier on Saturday, Iran’s Joint Military Command had talked about closing the Strait of Hormuz. Iran had said that it had said this because of Israeli attacks in Lebanon. Along with this, Iran also accused America of “bad faith” and not fulfilling its promises to end the war. Iran had clearly warned in its statement that “if the aggression continues, further measures are planned.”
meeting held in switzerland
A meeting was held in Switzerland regarding peace talks between America and Iran. US Vice President JD Vance said on Sunday there was a chance for a “new start” with Iran. The two sides held talks to build on an interim agreement reached last week that aims to end the war. Vance and US negotiators met with Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagheri Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi at a mountain resort in Switzerland near Lake Lucerne. Mediators from Pakistan and Qatar were also present in this direct conversation. This meeting was to take place in a resort in the mountainous area of Switzerland near Lake Lucerne.
Discussion on Israel and Lebanon
The sporadic clashes in Lebanon between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah fighters threaten to derail US efforts to extract concessions from Tehran on its nuclear program and keep the Strait of Hormuz open. Ahead of the meeting with Vance, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghai told Iran’s state news agency that Iran’s main focus during talks on Sunday would be the ongoing war between Israel and Lebanon.
