A new round of direct talks between the US and Iran have been postponed after Vice-President JD Vance delayed a planned trip to Switzerland. The White House announced late yesterday that Vance would not be travelling to the talks and said the logistics had not been "simple or predictable". This comes a day after the US dropped its naval blockade of Iran after the two countries signed a deal aimed at ending the conflict.
