Iran Uses Swiss Talks to Seek Economic Relief and Pressure Israel over Hezbollah

Iran’s negotiating delegation arrived in Switzerland to implement the US-Iran MoU and is likely to press Washington to compel Israel to halt Hezbollah operations in Lebanon, while leveraging the Strait of Hormuz closure as economic pressure. It remains unclear if nuclear talks will be on the agenda; internal regime disagreements and the desire for sanctions relief appear to shape Iran’s approach as fighting between Israel and Hezbollah continues despite a ceasefire.
