      <title>Shehbaz expected to join US-Iran talks in Switzerland</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330460550/shehbaz-expected-to-join-us-iran-talks-in-switzerland</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is expected to travel to Switzerland to participate in the second round of US-Iran talks, accompanied by a high-level delegation, sources said.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;US Vice President JD Vance is also likely to attend.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Technical-level talks to implement the US-Iran deal ending the Middle East war are set to be held in Burgenstock, Switzerland, on Sunday, Pakistan’s foreign ministry confirmed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“As a follow-up to the signing of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, technical-level talks will be held in Burgenstock, Switzerland, on 21 June,” the ministry said in a statement, adding that Pakistani and Qatari mediators would participate alongside US and Iranian representatives.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An Iranian negotiating team departed for Switzerland on Saturday, state news agency &lt;em&gt;IRNA&lt;/em&gt; reported, even as Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei warned the deal was “in trouble.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;US Vice President JD Vance said he expected to travel to Switzerland within the next few days, telling &lt;em&gt;Fox News:&lt;/em&gt; “I expect that I will leave some time the next couple of days, but you know it’s always a delicate coordination dance.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He said US negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were already on the ground handling “some of the technical elements” of the talks, and had reported that “things are going well.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vance’s comments came minutes before Iran announced it was again closing the Strait of Hormuz — the vital oil and gas shipping lane Tehran had blockaded for much of the war — citing Israeli strikes in Lebanon as a violation of the ceasefire deal.&lt;/p&gt;
