Axios reported U.S. diplomats said they have made good progress in keeping the Strait of Hormuz open.

US and Iranian technical talks under a ceasefire memorandum are scheduled for the 21st at Bürgenstock in Nidwalden, central Switzerland. The Swiss federal government authorised deployment of about 2,000 military personnel. A 46-km radius airspace restriction around Bürgenstock is in force; the Swiss Air Force is on aerial patrol and airspace monitoring has been stepped up, with road and hiking access tightened. Delegations and mediators are arriving. Negotiating positions still diverge—notably on whether the Strait of Hormuz would be closed—so the talks’ outcome and whether they proceed smoothly remain uncertain.
