TYRE, Lebanon (AP) \u2014 U.S. and Iranian negotiators headed to a Swiss venue Saturday for talks on adding key details to their interim agreement<\/a> to halt the war<\/a>, hours after Tehran said it closed the Strait of Hormuz<\/a> because of Israel\u2019s attacks in Lebanon<\/a> and warned that little might be achieved if the fighting doesn\u2019t stop.<\/p>\n

U.S. President Donald Trump<\/a>, in response, unleashed a new threat to impose American tolls in the crucial waterway if a final deal with Iran isn\u2019t reached in 60 days, saying the money would be for \u201cservices rendered as the Guardian Angel to the countries of the Middle East.\u201d The agreement calls for toll-free travel for 60 days.<\/p>\n
