This morning, <\/span>Vice President JD Vance touched down in Switzerland for the first round of talks with Iran. The stated goal: extending last week\u2019s interim mediated ceasefire and the Memorandum of Understanding signed by President Donald Trump into a more permanent peace in the 110-day US-Israeli war on Iran. But as those talks continued, Trump lost no time in taking to social media and Fox News to threaten Iran.<\/p>

\u201cIran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble,\u201d Trump wrote on his platform Truth Social Sunday morning.\u00a0\u201cIran must immediately stop their highly paid PROXIES in Lebanon from causing trouble. If they don\u2019t, we\u2019ll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder!!!\u201d <\/p>\n

Lebanon\u2019s civil defense reported that Israeli strikes had killed at least 16 people on Saturday morning, and the country\u2019s health ministry said at least 47 people were killed on Friday. In response, Iran once again closed the Strait of Hormuz shipping pathway, which before the war carried a fifth of the world\u2019s oil and gas, saying the US violated its deal to end the war by allowing Israel to continue to bomb Lebanon.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in the B\u00fcrgenstock resort near Lake Lucerne where the talks are being held, Vance said that\u00a0\u201cgreat progress\u201d was being made, without being explicit about the steps that had been taken. He noted\u00a0that the gathering would \u201callow us to sit together as teams for the first time in history,\u201d with the goal of turning \u201cover a new leaf to transform our relationship with the people of Iran, and to extend an outstretched hand.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Iranian Parliament Speaker\u00a0Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, a lead negotiator, said Iran\u2019s military is prepared to react to Trump\u2019s verbal aggression. \u201cThey better be careful with their statements; our armed forces are ready to respond in a different way,\u201d he wrote on X. Iranian officials reportedly walked out of Sunday\u2019s talks, protesting Trump\u2019s threats.<\/p>\n

A Washington Post <\/em>report today reveals the devastating human toll of the war. \u201cMonths after the war began with a wave of US and Israeli airstrikes on February 28, the scale of civilian casualties and destruction in Iran remains difficult to measure,\u201d Post<\/em> reporters Dylan Moriarty and N. Kirkpatrick wrote.\u00a0<\/p>

In a single airstrike, 100 buildings were damaged in one civilian neighborhood in Tehran. Almost a third of the city has been hit by US and Israeli missiles. One report on civilian harm puts the death toll from late February to mid-April at 1,701 civilians, including 307 children. Across both Iran and Lebanon, over 7,000 people have been killed since mid-February, according to official casualty figures.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a Sunday morning phone interview with Fox News,\u00a0Trump expressed some willingness to continue the carnage. \u201cYou close it, and you won\u2019t have a country,\u201d he warned. Fox News reporter Trey Yingst said the president told him that he told Iranian officials. \u201cYou won\u2019t even make it back to your fucking country,\u201d if they did not open the essential transportation lanes for oil in the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

Trump has repeatedly referred to himself as the \u201cGuardian Angel\u201d of this particular body of water. \u201cWe may take over the Strait, if we have to,\u201d Trump told Yingst. <\/p>\n

Hawks like Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) are pushing in that same direction. Graham reportedly spent over four hours with the President on Friday, outlining a plan to \u201ctake the Strait of Hormuz over by force\u201d even as the clock starts on a 60-day negotiating period.\u00a0On Face the Nation <\/em>Sunday, Graham told host Margaret Brennan, \u201cIf Iran contests control of the Strait of Hormuz by the United States, we will obliterate them.\u201d He added, \u201cLet\u2019s try a diplomatic solution. I think it\u2019s going to fail. What happens next?\u201d\u00a0 <\/p>
