The planned peace talks between the United States and Iran, scheduled to take place in Obbürgen, Switzerland, have been cancelled. The White House stated that the US remains hopeful for technical discussions to commence soon. Reports from Hezbollah-linked media indicate that Iran is postponing the delegation's arrival due to Israel's military operations in Lebanon. The talks were intended to follow a memorandum of understanding that initiated a 60-day period for negotiating a permanent agreement regarding Iran's nuclear program and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which is currently obstructed by approximately 80 mines. In Lebanon, Hezbollah has launched rocket attacks against Israeli forces, prompting Israeli airstrikes that resulted in at least 18 fatalities and 33 injuries. Iran has called for an end to Israel's actions in Lebanon as a condition for any peace agreement. Additionally, JD Vance criticized Israeli opponents of the proposed deal, emphasizing the importance of maintaining support from the US.
