Mark Levin questions US stance on Iranian people

An aide to US President Donald Trump said on Saturday Vice President JD Vance will join Jared Kushner and US envoy Steve Witkoff for negotiations involving Iran in Switzerland.

Iran’s agriculture minister Gholam Reza Nouri said on Saturday a 90% rise in domestic transport fees is among the factors contributing to higher prices of basic goods, alongside other cost increases affecting production and distribution.

"A sharp increase in internal transport costs as part of broader pressures on food and essential goods prices, including wage growth, tax changes, and higher packaging expenses," he said.

US Vice President said on Saturday, before departure, that technical talks in Switzerland would focus on the Iranian nuclear issue and efforts to reach a ceasefire in Lebanon, adding that he hopes the discussions will make progress on both fronts.

The Swiss Foreign Ministry on Saturday confirmed the arrival of the Iranian delegation in Switzerland, saying the team is travelling to Bürgenstock as part of the implementation of the memorandum of understanding signed between the United States and Iran.

Hardline commentators on Iranian state TV on Saturday said that closing the Strait of Hormuz is not enough to stall negotiations and called for shutting Mehrabad Airport in Tehran to prevent officials from travelling abroad for talks with the United States.

They added that the appropriate strategy in such conditions is “containment over passivity,” rejecting engagement at the negotiating table.
