Last update: 11 hours agoUS-Iran Talks in Switzerland: Vice President JD Vance met Iran’s top officials at Burgenstock to push a 60-day framework after last week’s interim memorandum, but Trump’s fresh threats over Hezbollah and the Strait of Hormuz immediately injected risk into the talks. Strait of Hormuz Flashpoints: Iran said it shut the strait again, while the US disputed the claim and warned it could take control or charge tolls if negotiations fail—keeping oil and shipping markets on edge. Diplomacy vs. Deadlines: Iran’s foreign ministry said talks on a final deal hinge on implementing ceasefire and economic clauses, including oil exports and frozen assets, while reports of possible walkouts were contested. Regional Security Pressure: Turkey’s foreign minister warned technical deadlocks could recur and said Israel may try to sabotage the process, as both sides traded warnings in parallel. Energy and Markets: Iraq ordered oil firms to ramp output toward pre-crisis levels after Hormuz disruptions cut exports sharply, while analysts linked the deal’s progress to crude prices, inflation expectations, and local market sentiment. Egypt-Africa Trade Push: Egypt and South Africa agreed to deepen industrial and logistics integration, including faster pharma approvals and cumulative rules of origin. Business Spotlight: Forbes ranked six Kuwaiti family businesses in its 2026 Top 100 list, underscoring Gulf family firms’ scale and diversification.
