U.S.-Iran talks scheduled for Switzerland have been postponed after Vice President JD Vance canceled his trip due to intensified Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon. The ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah was set to begin on Friday, but the recent escalation raised concerns about the ongoing negotiations. A U.S. official indicated that the talks were intended to address a lasting resolution to the conflict that began in February. The Swiss Foreign Ministry confirmed the postponement, stating that preparatory work for the talks would continue. Vance emphasized the importance of the peace process and criticized Israeli actions that undermine it. Israeli military operations reportedly resulted in at least 18 deaths in Lebanon, while four Israeli soldiers were killed in the conflict. Iran has warned that it will not adhere to the agreement with the U.S. if Israeli military actions continue.
