Trump Pairs Iran Diplomacy With Fresh Strike Threats

Vice President JD Vance arrived in Switzerland to lead talks at the Lake Lucerne Summit under a 60-day ceasefire. Simultaneously, President Trump threatened fresh military strikes—a deliberate dual-track pressure strategy. Trump's economic rationale: prolonged Middle East war risks global catastrophe. The administration calculates that military signaling strengthens Vance's negotiating position on demands for a complete Iranian nuclear moratorium, exceeding 2015 JCPOA terms.
