Iran said it was suspending nuclear talks with the United States after President Donald Trump threatened to strike the country again if it did not rein in Hezbollah in Lebanon, the semi-official Fars news agency reported on Sunday. However, talks in Switzerland were still ongoing despite the Iranian media reports, according to people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg reported.
Two semi-official Iranian media outlets said Tehran had halted the talks. But negotiators remained engaged in Switzerland, said the people, who were granted anonymity to describe sensitive matters, Bloomberg reported. Fars cited an anonymous source as saying the talks, being held at the Swiss resort of Bürgenstock, were now in a state of "uncertainty."
