Iranian officials have suspended peace negotiations with the United States in Switzerland following a series of aggressive statements from President Donald Trump, including a profanity-laced threat to seize or destroy the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's delegation has since stated it will not return to talks until Israeli forces withdraw from southern Lebanon and ceasefire violations cease.
According to Al Mayadeen's bureau chief in Geneva, the delegation refused to enter the session, abruptly halting diplomatic progress. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps separately declared the Strait of Hormuz closed, citing ongoing Israeli military action in Lebanon as a violation of the ceasefire framework.
