## Resource

The United States and Iran have opened or recently conducted high-level negotiations in Switzerland aimed at reducing tensions and working toward a broader agreement. Reports indicate the talks have produced some initial progress and that technical discussions are continuing. Iran announced that it had again closed or restricted the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route for global oil and gas supplies. However, U.S. officials disputed Iran's claim that the waterway was fully closed, saying maritime traffic was still moving through the area, albeit with disruptions.
